World boxing star Manny Pacquiao has drawn an outcry in the Philippines after publicly denouncing people in same-sex relationships as "worse than animals."
Pacquiao, a high school dropout from a poverty-stricken rural family who went on to become a boxing legend, made the remark when he and other Philippine senatorial candidates were asked by the local TV5 network about their views on same-sex marriage.
His remarks were posted online Monday by TV5, sparking criticism, including by some fellow Filipino celebrities.

It’s called free speech. He has the right.
Even a punch-drunk pugilist knows Tab P was never meant for Slot A.
ATTABOY!
Don’t forget that Politcal Correctness Blvd is a one way street. Only what “they” say counts. Counter what “they” say and BOOM! You’re a hater. So, tell me again how 1-5%(being generous) of the population holds so much sway. Reeeee-diculous.

How dare he tell the truth about perversion!

A small, but highly organized and networked, group can wield large amounts of power. There are advantages to having dozens of sex partners all over society. If you cross one, there's a good chance they will know somebody who knows somebody in a position to mess up your life.
Particularly in the entertainment industry.
........and the problem is??
Pacquio supposedly has political ambitions... Or so I’ve been told. This ‘news’ is probably typical sniping from somebody who perceives that he is a political opponent.
Hold your ground, sir. Do not let them force you to bow to their unnatural ideology.
High school drop out, poverty stricken form a rural family
WTH

Another biased piece of crap from the AP
He has stood firm against homosexuals and their perverted agenda for some time now.
He is Catholic , a proper one, not the whishy washy ones we have here in the country .
The other is the good people who are so kind to us: Opening doors, cleaning the snow off our cars (Upstate NY) and the love of your family.
To those offended by Manny’s common sense: Bake me a cake!
Actually, yes--the neighbor's dog.
(He also doesn't confine his predilections to his own species either.)
true.
lately, they’ve set their sights on the tech sector. if you’re not on board with their bs, they’ll make sure to push you out of the industry.
next up: the DoD and DoD contractors
“. . . draws flak . . ..: AND lots of support! It’s just common sense!
Simple statement. Simple fact.
