If you're not politically correct now a days, you're an enemy of the state........
Manny is one of those Born Again Religious Freaks who want their views and opinions to be law. If he was a Muslim, they'd call it wanting Sharia law and everyone would be disgusted. To his credit, he has apologized for his disgusting comments:

Facing a sharp backlash over his remarks in a recent TV interview, boxer and politician Manny Pacquiao has apologized for saying that people who are in gay relationships are "worse than animals."
Here's the famous boxer's apology:
After the short video was posted on the TV5 Facebook page, some of the comments were in support of Pacquiao, who enjoys wealth and wide popularity and has often discussed his religious devotion.
Other responses were withering.
"This numbskull should know that there are gay animals," writer Danton Remoto said, in a response quoted by TV5 . "He should have attended more than four sessions in Congress to know that."
That last remark is a reference to a report in the Philippine Daily Inquirer that foundPacquiao only went to Congress on four days in 2014.
Shortly after the angry reaction began, Pacquiao refused to apologize.
"I'm not condemning anyone, but I'm just telling the truth of what the Bible says," he wrote on Facebook early Tuesday, local time. He cited 1 Corinthians 6:9 — "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men."
Hours later, Pacquiao, a member of the House of Representatives who's currently campaigning to win a Senate seat, released a video on Facebook and Twitter along with his apology.
Many of the fierce reactions to the comments came via Twitter and other social media. Some, like comedian Vice Ganda — whose actual name is Jose Marie Vicera — called Pacquiao a hypocrite, noting, as the Daily Inquirer reports, that the boxer "was previously linked to other women such as Krista Ranillo and Kat Ordonez while being married to his wife Jinkee."
"What we need in the Senate are those who are experienced in politics, law, and economics — not false prophets," Vice Ganda said in a tweet translated by the Daily Inquirer.
The newspaper notes that Pacquiao is one of the most popular candidates currently running for a Senate seat.
In response to Pacquiao's apology, Vice Ganda said, in a remark that was retweetedthousands of times, "Manny said sorry. Apology accepted. But i will still not vote for him. Manny for boxing not for Senate. #Respect."

Facing a sharp backlash over his remarks in a recent TV interview, boxer and politician Manny Pacquiao has apologized for saying that people who are in gay relationships are "worse than animals."
Here's the famous boxer's apology:
"I'm sorry for hurting people by comparing homosexuals to animals. Please forgive me for those I've hurt. I still stand on my belief that I'm against same sex marriage because of what the Bible says, but I'm not condemning LGBT. I love you all with the love of the Lord. God Bless you all and I'm praying for you."
Outrage quickly grew in reaction to Pacquiao's comments in an interview that aired Monday night on the Philippines' TV5 network, in which he said it was a matter of "common sense" that animals don't have male-to-male or female-to-female relations. Carrying his idea a step further, Pacquiao said that if people engage in same-sex relations, then people "are worse than animals."
After the short video was posted on the TV5 Facebook page, some of the comments were in support of Pacquiao, who enjoys wealth and wide popularity and has often discussed his religious devotion.
Other responses were withering.
"This numbskull should know that there are gay animals," writer Danton Remoto said, in a response quoted by TV5 . "He should have attended more than four sessions in Congress to know that."

And its also sad that if you think homosexuality is wrong and find it repulsive, that you are labeled as someone who is narrow minded and full of hate.
Just because you don't agree with something and think its gross, does not mean you are judging or condemning others.
I have zero problem if someone wants to be gay. Thats their business. Don't know, dont care. But don't "impose" your way of life on me. And I won't impose my beliefs on you. Live and let live.
Funny how in this PC society, you can speak out against anything, even talk about killing white men - but don't touch the gays, or you'll lose your job.

</header>[h=2]Two-time Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson weighed in on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy this week, and suggested the industry’s diversity issues could be remedied by “killing off” the Academy’s many older, white members.[/h]“It’s hilarious,” the British actress told the Belfast Telegraph earlier this week in regards to the Oscars nominating controversy.
In January, the controversy was renewed after the Academy announced its acting nominations included no people of color for a second straight year.
“It’s no change there. It’s not as if it’s ever been awash with people of color. Let’s face it, the Oscar membership is mainly old, white men,” Thompson noted of the issue of diversity within the Academy’s membership.
The Academy’s voting rules and membership structure have been updated in the wake of the controversy in an effort to ensure more diversity among Oscars nominees in the future.
The membership changes will eventually remove voting privileges from many older, white Academy members; however, Thompson feels the process of purging the older white people could be expedited.
“That’s the fact of it. Either you wait for them all to die, or kill them off slowly. There’s so many options, aren’t there?” she said.
Thompson then notedtheScreen Actors Guild (SAG) is taking active measures to ensure its membership is more reflective of diversity.
The actress, who won Oscars for her roles in films Howards End (1992) and Sense and Sensibility (1996), previously described the British public as “racist” for its response to Europe’s migrant crisis.
“We have to open our door to more refugees. The idea of 3,000 people in Calais who have been through unspeakable things makes me feel very ashamed,” Thompson said last September. “We’re not even missing our quotas. That’s really shaming. So I think it’s got a lot to do with racism.”
Thompson added: “If these people were white, European, that were coming from some dictatorship in Bosnia. If they were coming I think we would feel quite differently about it … We’ve got plenty of room for them.”
