Elton John believes Jesus Christ would support same-sex marriage

Elton John says that he believes Jesus Christ would support same-sex marriage if he were around today:

"The church hierarchy, the traditionalists, might be up in arms about it but times have changed. If Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this [gay marriage] could not happen.

"He was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together, and that is what the church should be about."

In the same interview, John says that he hopes to speak to Russian leader Vladimir Putin about the LGBT community this fall when he travels there.

I'm sure that will fix everything...
