Manny Pacman Thinks Gay People Should Be Put To Death
 

Manny Pacquiao has apologized to the gay community after he was misquoted as saying that gay men “must be put to death.”

The trouble began with an interview in The Examiner which asked the 33-year-old Filipino boxer his opinion on gay marriage.

Pacquiao took issue with President Barack Obama citing his faith in making his endorsement of gay marriage. The author quoted the Old Testament book of Leviticus 20:13, saying: “If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

The reference made it appear as if Pacquiao was agreeing with the biblical passage and many outlets quoted him as making the reference himself.

The controversy over the comments prompted the Grove outdoor shopping center in Los Angeles to ban Pacquiao from the mall as he was preparing to tape an interview with the celebrity news show Extra, which regularly films at the popular mall.

“Based on news reports of statements made by Mr. Pacquiao, we have made it known that he is not welcome at the Grove and will not be interviewed here now or in the future,” mall operators said in a statement. “The Grove is a gathering place for all Angelenos and not a place for intolerance.”

Pacquiao on Wednesday clarified his comments in an interviewer with The Los Angeles Times.

“What I said is a reporter asked me about gay marriage … I am against gay marriage, but I'm not condemning gays,” the boxer said. “I have family – a cousin – who's gay, and friends too. I'm just against gay marriage. I don't even want to talk about the issue, but I was asked about it, so I gave my opinion.”

In his interview with Extra, which was filmed at an alternate location, Pacquiao apologized: “To the gay community, I apologize. I'm against same-sex marriage, but I'm not condemning you. My favorite verse is 'Love one another as you love yourself. Love your neighbor.' So I love everybody!”

Can you imagine if Floyd said this? :laugh:.



Petition to get him dropped by Nike is up online apparently.

The Gay Community will be right behind Floyd when he eventually takes on the Pacman then

hes entitled to his opinion I wish the gay community would be less discriminatory against other peoples views and lifestyles, its total hypocrissy, for what its worth i dont care if a man marries a man a horse an alien, im bored of hearing about this trivial nonsense....lets talk about important issues, theres 100000 times more money spent on war than people....now thats serious

How did he mean it come across then? I don't believe his bull****.

yes I'm sick of the gay community wishing death upon straight people because of some book they were forced to read

yes there must have been 1000001 books of misandry and male hate these past few decades, so theres so many to choose from

the vagina monologues?

oh deary me :bored: I dont understand how people can say stuff like this ..let alone when they know its going to be in the media..

eek

What a stupid quote, last time i checked gay men Don't lie with men the way they lie with women because they Don't lie with women. duh, that's the point. That quote is clearly against bisexuals, not gay men.

You can't blame the guy, some people are just bright up like that. Peace & education is the solution.

then who can you blame? what a silly thing to say that you can't blame someone just because they come from an ignorant family.

I guess it's okay to beat your wife if you come from a family where yur dad beat your mother? can't blame him, he was just brought up that way???

ummm... no.

who are you gonna blame then?

Of course everyone is responsible for their actions but their environment & society are ultimately the ones with the problem imo.

If murder is a normal part of life in some societies do you just prosecute & scare people into stop murdering or do you educate & try to fix the wider issue.

um... YES, you do prosecute them. are you seriously saying that murder is okay(example: honor killings) just because it's cultural??

you've lost me man, sorry.

I sort of get the sentiment that you are going for, but i think you are taking that sentiment into very extreme territories, and that's where you lose me.

Do you seriously think that I think that murderers shouldn't be prosecuted :| I meant do you solve the underlying problem just by prosocuting the offenders & scare tactics or do you educate & try to prevent the murder in the first place.

...anyway what I'm saying is you've got to understand that this guy was probably brought up in a household/society that looked down on homosexuality among other things, if he has no contact with anything but that sort of opinion how can you blame him for just being the same? Look how many people believe in God with absolutely no evidence purely because they live in that type of society, do you blame each specific person? I know this might be hard for an American to hear but maybe nobody's to blame :tongue:

Can't believe this has not been posted in the thread
