The tiny island of Tobago's gearing up for the Plymouth Jazz Festival - a musical event that will feature the likes of Gladys Knight, LL Cool J, Sean Paul and headed up by Elton John. While citizens are thrilled to itty bits about the event, they're not so keen on good old Elton's impending arrival. Pop Bitch reports:
Breakfast TV show Rise & Shine this week had a phone-in about Elton. Presenters refused to condemn a caller who thought Elton should be subjected to earthly hellfire for his "poisonous" lifestyle, while another asked, "Is it your understanding that he is planning a hideous nude gay orgy on stage or in private during his visit?". Callers complaining about the homophobia were told on air, "Opinions are like noses, everyone has one".We've heard another variation of that expression: opinions are like assholes: everyone's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks. A little more appropriate for this situation, don't you think?
Meanwhile, riding the wave of this pansy protest, a lawyer dug up an old immigration law that forbids "self-professed" gays from entering the island. Some God fearing citizens are now trying to get the government to turn Elton away. Sure, it's shitty, but you gotta give them an 'A' for effort. Or is it asshole?
Well, that's one more Caribbean destination that's off the list.
Hope there's lots and lots of Dobsonites out there who want to spend money traveling to the islands, cuz gay dollars are gonna stay home or go somewhere more friendly.
I am so sick of this $hit.
