So the internet has been buzzing about Manny Pacquiao's statement about the LGBT community.
All sorts of people have given their opinions and syempre, may comments rin ako:
- Tama ba namang icompare ang LGBT to animals ? Napaka harsh naman nun. Mas masakit pa kung iisipin mo kung ano si Manny. Kala mo kung sinong napakabanal na tao na walang kasalanan, e kalat na kalat naman yung infidelity nya. Hindi ba ipinagbabawal sa bible ang kumaliwa sa asawa ?
Kunsabagay, am sure na tinawag rin siyang hayop ni jinky nung times na kumakaliwa siya ;)
- Some people say that Manny is a hero, he's done so much for our country and he's even bled for our country - napaka super duper OVER naman nito. Yes, he excelled in his sport and has given our people so much to be proud of. Pero di naman tama na i-compare siya sa mga servicemen whose lives are on the line every day.
Boxing is Manny's sport / livelihood, it's not a service to his community/countrymen.
He is NOT a hero.
- In fairness to Manny Pacquiao, I have to admire his commitment. He apologized for his words but he remained committed to being against same-sex marriage. He's surely lost a lot of votes already, he even got dropped as an endorser by Nike, but he remains steadfast in his resolve.
- It's true that the Catholic Church is against homosexuality but it's also true that the Catholic Church tenets have been around for a long time, baka dapat nang ma-update ?
One time, I had a discussion with a friend about same-sex marriages. Sabi ni friend, against raw siya dahil "Katoliko ako eh and bawal sa simbahan yan". Immediately, I pointed out, "e diba ipinagbabawal rin ng simbahan ang IVF ? bakit nag IVF ka ? " Natahimik at napaisip si friend. Eventually, nung nakapagsalita na siya, "you have a point" ang sagot nya.
- May relative ako na feeling ko LGBT pero hindi naman siya nagladlad pa. Siguro ayaw rin bigyan ng sakit ng ulo ang parents/family nya. Sana someday, may chance rin siya ilabas ang totoong pagkatao nya in public. Can't be easy having to keep your real self a secret.

He opened his mouth and... backlash.
At this day and age - we should all know when to keep quiet and when to give our opinion. Diba may saying na LESS TALK LESS MISTAKE?
In this whole debacle - alam mo kung ano narealize ko.. WE ALL HAVE FREE WILL to choose what we want to believe in. No one should say that their opinion is the best opinion or claim that it is the right one.
Pero in this case - nasa losing end siya. Sorry but hindi kasi nagiisip e. Celebrity siya. Alam niyang his opinion will be blown out of proportion.
P.S. Yung mga LTO sa mga malls sinara nila kasi wala ng license cards na available. Silly really.
Ayoko na patulan si manny kasi medyo hindi na tama pag iisip nun Dahil lagi nasusuntok ulo nya sa boxing. Hahaha
