Pacquiao: Same *** marriage "mas masahol sa hayop."

[Monseratto]

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.

�It�s 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,� Pacquiao said [translated from Tagalog] via Interaksyon.com.

�If we approve male on male, female on female, then man is worse than animal.�

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 Obama�s 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 Pacquiao�s 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.

although i agree with his opinion, he should have kept his opinion to himself being a public figure.

+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.

you can't help but think, sa dinami ng pera at advisor nya, hindi pa rin nya natutunan mag-isip muna LOL

honestly, it's not supposed to be the government's job who people can marry in the first place...

I mean, it's a social contract between two consenting adults.

[BratPAQ]

ang hirap kasi eh religious kagad ang tingin sa same *** marriage. eh usapang legal yan eh. di naman sa simbahan gagawin ang marriage eh. ang habol dito eh same legal protection para sa nagsasama na parehong lalaki or parehong babae. like conjugal property etc.

But if the state doesnt recognize same *** marriage kasi, like today, then kawawa ung same *** unions they are not recognized or protected and do not enjoy the benefits that traditional marriages do.

I also agree with his opinion although it is politically incorrect, and also he lacks finesse in putting it across.

[Ry_Tower]

^ spot on. hehehehe, yan hindi tao. Hindi nag-iisip eh.

Same here, nowadays, you can't force anyone to accept your belief. True or not, politcial and religious opinions are best discussed in private among close friends to avoid things like this.

He lost my respect the moment he sided with Binay

[Altis6453]

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.

Homo***uality can be cured

No it can't. There is a mjaor uproar in the US and elsewhere as former "patients" and protection groups are now successfully suing "conversion therapy" centers and having them shut down.

The most you can do is teach yourself to deny that you're homo***ual, or, if you're bi***ual, learn to live with only the hetero***ual side.

Therein lies the rub: ***uality is a spectrum. People are not exclusively homo- or hetero-***ual... which is why people can identify as homo***ual, but later on develop a hetero***ual relationship.

In the end, though:

The government's only job is to uphold the terms of contracts, not determine who and who cannot enter into contracts.

The only time a marriage contract should ever be contentious in the eyes of the law is if one party does not have the logical capacity or maturity to give consent... period.

the first step to becoming a better human is to acknowlege that we're animals

homo***uality is pretty common in other animals

now if you insist that your god tells you different then you're an idiot. that just your stupid opinion and should just keep it to yourself

you're contradicting yourself my friend, especially in that last statement of yours. I suggest you follow your advice and keep it to yourself because some of us here prefer to differentiate ourselves from animals.

Some people are brutally honest, while some are just more concerned about being brutal, than being honest.
