I guess he should have kept his opinion to himself...

Manny Pacquiao Homophobic? Boxer says ?man is worse than animals? if same-*** marriage is legalized - Sports Rageous - Best sports news on the web

Is Manny Pacquiao homophobic? In a recent interview, the Filipino boxer made clear his stand against same-*** marriage for his home country, the Philippines, where he is running for a senatorial seat in the upcoming national elections in May later this year.

ï¿½Itï¿½s common sense. Will you see any animals where male is to male and female is to female? The animals are better. They know how to distinguish, male or female,ï¿½ Pacquiao said [translated from Tagalog] via Interaksyon.com.

ï¿½If we approve male on male, female on female, then man is worse than animal.ï¿½

This is not the first time the Filipino boxing champion has gotten himself into hot water about alleged homophobic comments. In 2012, he spoke against gay marriage by quoting a bible passage in reaction to US President Barack Obamaï¿½s stand that same-*** marriage should be legal.

At that time, Pacquiao clarified his statements that he is only against same-*** marriage but have nothing against homo***uals.

Pacquiao along with the likes of NBA players Kobe Bryant, Tim Hardaway, Joakim Noah, NFL players DeSean Jackson and David Tyree all have history of homophobic remarks, gay slurs or same stand against same-*** marriage that put them in hot water.

Same-*** marriage is still not legal in Pacquiaoï¿½s home country but the Philippines is ranked as one of the most gay-friendly nations in the world and most LGBT friendly in Asia, according to a 2013 study by the Pew Research Center.

+1000. Commenting on such sensitive issues while gunning for a senatorial position is not ideal imho. Magbabackfire sakanya yan, sigurado ako.

Regardless of the issue, I will never vote for him. Thank you for making our country proud but politics is a whole different thing.

He lost my respect the moment he sided with Binay

Can't expect a guy who has limited education to be even fully informed about LGBT rights and issues.

That he has limited education should be enough not to consider him as SENATOR...but hey....look at Lito Lapid, Ramon Revilla, etc. Sheesh.

You can be sure the bobotante will elect him into office notwithstanding.

"Animals know how to distinguish..."

I guess Manny has never had a dog.

The "nature" argument is so last century already. We already know that many intelligent mammals display homo***ual tendencies.

Religion... to each their own. But don't use your religion to oppress someone who may have different views. What two consenting adults do in the sanctity of their own bedrooms is none of our ****ing business.

There is no religion that promote homo***uality. imo. Aywan ko lang sa mga 'satanista'. Mayroon palang mga taong dinidiyos si Lucy. Homo***uality can be cured, if they wish. Homos in show business are reluctant to change dahil malakas silang kumita.

As for Manny, opinion niya yon, baka babalik sa kanya ang mga uncalled remarks; bad for a politician. He has a 90% chance of winning dahil sikat, e.
