According to Sir Elton John, Jesus was a gay lord.The singer made the controversial claim in a new US interview, reports The Sun.Elton, 62, said: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems."He added: "Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don''t know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East - you''re as good as dead."Talking about how he and David Furnish, 47 - now his "husband" - first got together, the pop veteran told Parade magazine: "I was attracted to David immediately. He was very well dressed, very shy. The next night we had dinner."After it, we fell in love very quickly."He said of previous lovers: "I''d always choose someone younger. I wanted to smother them with love. I''d take them around the world, try to educate them."One after another they got a Cartier watch, a Versace outfit, maybe a sports car."They didn''t have jobs. They were reliant on me."In six months they were bored and hated my guts because I''d taken their lives and self-worth away. I hadn''t intended to."
