Elton John is going to discuss gay rights with Putin

Sir Elton John plans to come to Russia and meet President Vladimir Putin to discuss gay rights. The British composer said this in an interview with Sky News , emphasizing that "in general, over the past 18 months the situation has worsened." At the beginning of 2013, a bill was approved in Russia on the ban on propaganda of homosexuality among children and adolescents, which the observers considered the antigan.

Open Gay Elton John said: "I will see Putin and talk to him - I don’t know if something good will come out of this." He is going to visit Russia in November.

Also, speaking of the rights of a gayav, he stated that the Anglican church should take an example from the Vatican. “The New Dad (Francis) is wonderful, he very inspired me,” the singer said.

Elton John also said that, in his opinion, celibacy for Catholic priests must be canceled, and gei priests should have the right to tie themselves with the ties of marriage. "These things are old and stupid. If Jesus Christ lived today, I cannot imagine that He - a Christian and a great man - would say that this cannot be."

The bill introducing fines for promoting homosexuality provides for fines for citizens in the amount of 4 to 5 thousand rubles, for officials - from 40 to 50 thousand, for legal entities - from 400 to 500 thousand rubles. The law provides for the punishment for the distribution of information aimed at forming non -traditional sexual attitudes in children, as well as information that forms the attractiveness of such relations in their eyes and creates a “distorted idea of ​​the social equivalent of traditional and non -traditional relations”.
