Manny Pacquiao Clarifies Same-Sex Marriage Comments
by Free Britney at .Manny Pacquiao is standing by his criticism of same-sex marriage, but denies giving some of the strongly-worded quotes in a recent article about his views.
The athlete, regarded by many as the best pound-for-pound boxer on Earth, criticized gay marriage in the wake of President Obama's recent support of it.
Pacquiao DOES NOT, however, believe gay people should be put to death, or treated intolerantly, blaming the media for distorting his take on the subject.
Manny has been under scrutiny since the National Conservative Examiner published an interview in which he said that gay marriage is against the will of God.
The article includes a reference to Leviticus 20:13, which says gays "must be put to death." But Pacquiao says he never said that or referenced the verse.
The boxer said in a statement, "I didn’t say that, it’s a lie ... I didn’t even know that quote from Leviticus because I haven’t read the Book of Leviticus yet."
He also made a point to say, "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 [sic] are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God.”

Stupid people are entitled to be stupid. Just dont throw your stupidity in our faces with your dumb posts.
Pac was misquoted by that a$$h0le "writer" Ampong, who until today remains defiant in pointing the blame at others for the great flap.

I am supporting Pacquiao's stand on same-sex marriage because by opposing it, he is absolutely promoting God's will and plan.
