Boxer-turned-politician Manny Pacquiao says gays “worse than animals,” apologizes lamely

I thought it was referring to how quickly people get burned at the stake for saying things.

Update:

Mr Pacquiao then apologised on Facebook, saying he was sorry for hurting people and was “not condemning LGBT” but was still against gay marriage.

But on Thursday, a Bible quote appeared on his Instagram account, reading: “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

Local Filipino media captured a screenshot of the image before it was deleted and Mr Pacquiao’s staff in General Santos confirmed that the post had been published on the boxer’s account.

However, Mr Pacquiao - still wearing his Nike sports gear - insisted the row had not affected him.

“I’m happy. I’m always happy because God is with me,” he said.

In what way is he “not condemning LGBT”?
