Manny Pacquiao to Gay Community: ‘I Apologize’

?Extra? host Mario Lopez spoke with professional boxer Manny Pacquiao to clarify his recent comments about same-sex marriage.

?I want to clarify that I didn?t say I wanted all gays put to death,? explained Pacquiao. ?The reporter asked me a question. He said, ?Obama is in favor of legalizing gay marriage and what?s your opinion?? He asked me about my opinion and I told him my opinion that that I don?t agree, and I?m against same sex marriage, but I didn?t say that I?m condemning the gays because, you know, I have relatives. I have gay relatives and friends. That?s all I said to the reporter.?

What would the fighter like to say to the gay community now? ?To the gay community, I apologize. I?m against same sex marriage, but I?m not condemning you. My favorite verse is ?Love one another as you love yourself. Love your neighbor.? So, I love everybody!?
