Elton John Dedicates Russia Concert to Homophobic Killing Victim.

[dipsydoodle]

MOSCOW, December 7 (RIA Novosti) – Openly gay British musician Elton John dedicated a concert in Moscow on Friday to a Russian man, Vladislav Tornovo, beaten to death in a suspected homophobic killing earlier this year.

Elton John used the sell-out concert in Moscow’s Crocus City Hall to condemn a Russian law, widely seen as anti-gay, which forbids the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations among children.

Russian investigators have said that Tornovo, 23, was murdered in May because of his sexual orientation, a death critics have linked to a growing wave of anti-gay sentiment in Russia fuelled by the new law.

During the concert, Elton John, 66, said he had been warned by friends not to perform in Russia.

2. yeah... all that good he has done and will do

and you get pissy because he took a paid gig. i guess that will just destroy him. perhaps he should just stop trying to make a difference because he won't 'get a pass' from you...
