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 just common sense," said the 37-year-old Pacquiao, who is currently a member of the House of Representatives. "Have you seen any animal having male-to-male or female-to-female relations?" ...

Hey, when he’s right, he’s right. The word “abomination” in the Old Testament is the Hebrew “toebah toebah” meaning “disgusting, abhorrent, abomination.”

“Abhorrent” means “detestable, loathsome, despicable, execrable, revolting, repulsive, repugnant, nauseating, contemptible.”

“Disgusting” includes all the above, but adds “nasty, vomitous.”

Homosexuality is all those things, as far as God is concerned, and He’s promised that every single one of them who dies unrepentant will burn in hell, as will every single one who supports them in their depravity.

He’ll easily win. I have Filipino in-laws and it’s a celebrity driven political year. Celebs always mostly win there during elections AND the AP being pro faggot, are butt hurt as usual.

Where's the Donald Sutherland pic from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers?"

This is the "tolerant" 21st century, remember.

He’s right and proved some critters can’t except the facts.

A customer of mine is from Palawan — Manny is from that island. Huge fan. He mentioned that he was thinking of a political career. But I haven’t had that conversation with him since.

The left WILL attempt to destroy you if you express any condemnation of homosexuality whatsoever.

True. In NYC, though - they’re prime targets for the ferals.
