You don?t have to know much about the Bible to know that this, too, shall pass.
The ?Manny Pacquiao wants gay people to be shot? kerfluffle is a one day story and, while Pacman reasserted his religious opposition to gay marriage again on Wednesday, his 80 year old promoter, Bob Arum, said this story is, you might say, being put to bed.
?Manny never made such statements,? Arum said Wednesday morning from Las Vegas. ?He?s spoken to (Filipino scribe) Ronnie (Nathanielsz) and he?s also going to speak to the Associated Press and the New York Times on this, to correct the record.
?It?s Manny?s international stature that makes it a story, I guess. But all Manny ever said is nothing new. All he said was that he opposes, or continues to oppose, gay marriage for religious reasons.
?It?s much ado about nothing, really. Nobody asked me about my opinion on gay marriage.?
As carried by Boxing Scene, Pacquiao underlined his views on homosexuality like so: Advertisement
?I am not angry with gays but I don’t want them to sin against the law of God because homosexual offenders cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. I was talking about same sex marriages.
“I am not against gays and I have relatives who are gay. There is nothing we can do about having such relatives but what I don’t want is for them to disobey what God has ordered.”
After concluding his apologies/explanations, Pacman reverted to his normal Wild Card Gym fight training schedule.
