Manny Pacquiao Defends Anti-Gay Marriage Comments

Well, that didn't take long.

Boxer Manny Pacquiao is denying that he quoted the Bible when he was asked about President Obama's support of gay marriage, and that the original publication is lying about it.

He has been getting a LOT of flak for it, even being banned from places like The Grove in El Lay.

Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao has come out swinging against reports that he made anti-gay comments in a recent interview, saying it was a lie the publication made up.

Manny isn't just a boxer, though, he's also a devout Catholic and a Congressman in his homeland of the Philippines, along with being super married (even though he's been linked to be less devout in his marriage as he is a Catholic).

Here's what he's saying now:

“I didn’t say that, that’s a lie…I didn’t know that quote from Leviticus because I haven’t read the Book of Leviticus yet. I’m not against gay people… I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way. What I’m critical of are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God.”

What he doesn't seem to understand is that being against equal rights for any reason is STILL being intolerant of those who are being discriminated against, regardless of your reasons! ESPECIALLY if you're in a position of influence!

Also, double especially if you've been linked in reports to a Filipina actress named Krista Ranillo while you're still married under "the law of God."

So wrong!

Manny Pacquiao: Gay Men Should Be 'Put To Death'

And there it is, folks. Some of the most despicable words about the LGBT community to come from someone of fame yet.

The sad thing is that we always had the feeling that Manny Pacquiao was a decent and honorable guy. Such a shame.

Manny was interviewed by the National Conservative Examiner. During this interview he was asked about President Obama's support of same-sex marriage. Manny took this opportunity to quote the Bible, including one of the more disgusting passages.

Here's what he said:

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.

God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other. It should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old.

How wise. And deplorable. Tell us again, Manny, how gay marriage has an effect on you directly? How the happiness and love of others can be so wrong?

We can't stand ignorance of equality, and hope Manny feels every bit of backlash he's going to get for these comments!

Besides, we hear that Manny really isn't the best at not adulterating the altar of matrimony himself, as he's been linked in reports to a Filipina actress named Krista Ranillo… even though he's married.

We wonder how his sponsors feel?
