Elton John Cover of US Magazine Covered Up

Well, of course children can tell. They probably saw the magazine, gasped, and shrieked "OMG TEH GAYNESS IS OVERWHELMING TEH WORLD!" and ran off, eyes melting in their faces.

I wouldn't be horribly surprised if a lot of kids could tell.

However, the vast majority of kids just don't give a rat's ass one way or another. It's their parents that have all the problems with it.

No, you're mistaken. They read the cover and it immediately 'turned' them. Then they ran screaming out of the room, "I'm GAY! I'm GAY!"

'Cuz we ALL know how that's what these covers cause.

^LOL Well of COURSE teh gay is contagious. You can't imagine what happens when children see *gasp* 2 guys or 2 girls holding hands.

The only concern I have is that Elton John is 63 years old.

Every time a woman that age decides to become a mother the media has a field day with it. No one says shit when it's an older father, though.

So he's suffering from one kind of media bias, and benefitting from another.
