After “blundering” the Filipino athlete Manny Pacquiao, with a homophobic comment, in the last hours he came out with an apology.
Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao was criticized for declaring, as part of his campaign for the Senate elections in the Philippines, that homosexual couples are “worse than animals.”
It’s common sense. Have you ever seen animals mate with animals of the same sex? Animals are better because they distinguish between males and females, “said the boxer in an interview with the Philippine network” TV5 “broadcast on Monday.
“Men who mate with men and women who mate with women are worse than animals,” he added.
Educated in Catholicism, like 80 percent of Filipinos, Pacquiao converted to evangelism in the early 2010s, claiming to have been chosen by God to spread the message of Christ.
The boxer campaigns with the Bible in a pocket in an extremely conservative line. Gay marriage is not legal in the Philippines.
