'Elton John will turn locals gay', say Tobagan church leaders

Artists: Elton John

In today's '...and finally' story, famous homosexual Sir Elton John has been attacked by Tobagon church leaders over his plans to play a show on the Carribean island.

Religious leaders are concerned that Elton, who is due to headline the Plymouth jazz festival there in April, might 'turn' the locals 'funny'.

“His visit to the island can open the country to be tempted towards pursuing his lifestyle,” said Archdeacon of Trinidad and Tobago Philip Isaac.

To be honest mate, I think Elton's visit will probably inspire the opposite. If I was you, I'd be plastering photos of his mug all over town. But apparently not...

"A man should not lie with a man," Archdeacon Isaac went on to say.

"The artist is one of god’s children and while his lifestyle is questionable he needs to be ministered unto.”

That's it! Cure him! Apparently, a clause in Tobago's law means that Sir Elton could feasibly be denied the chance to breach the island's borders and local newspapers have been acting as a forum for those who would support such moves. Check this quote:

“We have a huge problem with homosexuality in our population because, unlike our foreign counterparts, our free-up nature and infrastructure cannot support the conditions of this lifestyle.”

Damn the gays and their outlandish, workshy lifestyle! Festival organiser Anthony Maharaj was speaking some sense at least, recommending the singer as "a man who was knighted by the Queen, who was highly complimented by Desmond Tutu.”

Are you ready for Elton's love, Tobago?

I initially read the headline as "turn local gays"

which tbh would probably be more accurate.


...and I thought it said "Toboggan church leaders"

which is probably what modern religion is lacking.


Aha

Nice.


I can't waitt

for Beth Ditto to play a gig there.


He has a pointI've given four men fellatio

since opening this news story.


going here in summer

to save turtles.
sounds like a fun place to be.


Meanie Beanie

Now you can see why Beanie man is such a gay hating prick. If Tobago are gay haters, what other small islands are?


The island is lovely, as are the people

Obviously conservative, but that aside, they're nicest people you'll ever meet. Really.


Re: The island is lovely, as are the people

2nded. you'll prolly find plenty of church leaders over here who'd say the same thing. elton should prolly be more concerned that, as far as i know, it's still illegal to be gay over there. still, some would say lock the man up already.


as long as

you don't bum the turtles you'll be fine


I met a gay man in Tobago once!

He took me snorkelling. I don't think he listened to Elton John though.


Pretty difficult

with a mask and snorkel n, i shouldn't wonder.


Yeah

He said he was gay so he could take you snorkelling. You know that baby you've got? That's his.


RIGHT

I AM DRUNK. AND ALL I WILL SAY IS ALL Y'ALL WHO HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO DOWNLOAD THINGS...DOWNLOAD "TAKE ME TO THE PILOT" OFF OF ELTON'S 2ND LP. CLASSIC.


You'll regret that

in the morning


ouch


oh dear.
