Elton John defends Phillip Schofield and says the backlash is homophobic
Sir Elton John has come out in defence of Phillip Schofield and said the backlash from his affair is due to homophobia.
Sir Elton made the comments as he condemned anti-LGBTQ+ laws in America and made reference to the treatment of Phillip in the UK. Speaking to Radio Times, the singer said: "Well, it's all going pear-shaped in America. There's violence, laws enacted in Florida, which are disgraceful." He added: "I don't like it at all. It's a growing swell of anger and homophobia that's around America. I don't know if it's around Britain because I haven't been here that much, but I feel that the Phillip Schofield thing has been totally homophobic.This comes after Phillip resigned from ITV last month and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male runner on This Morning.
The ex This Morning presenter said: "Attraction is attraction. It's no different in the gay world as it is in the heterosexual world or in the lesbian world.
