Sex Marriage But Never Said Gay People 'Must Be Put To Death'
Manny Pacquiao may disagree with President Obama's views on same sex marriage but the Filipino boxing champion says he does not believe that gay people should be "put to death," as had been reported this week by several media outlets. The boxing champion cited his religious beliefs when revealing to Ampong that he opposes President Obama's stance on same sex marriage.
Pacquiao is quoted as saying that "God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married." However, it wasn't merely Pacquiao's disagreement with Obama about marriage that sparked a controversy. The Nike Air Max 2017 article quoted a passage from the book of Leviticus that left many people thinking that Pacquiao was calling for the deaths of homosexuals.
Several news sources like USA Today, LA Weekly and The Village Voice were misled by Ampong's text and published stories stating that Pacquiao had himself quoted the Leviticus verse promoting the deaths of gay people.
The anti Pacquiao backlash rose up quickly as there were calls for Nike to drop him. A mall in Los Angeles banned the 33 year old ahead of a scheduled interview.
Pacquiao eventually clarified his comments in a statement, claiming that he had never cited the violent verse from Leviticus.
"I didn't say that, that's a lie. I didn't know that quote from Leviticus because I haven't read the Book of Leviticus yet. 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," he said, per TMZ. "What I'm critical off [sic] are actions that violate the word of God.
"Pacquiao never said nor recited, nor invoked and nor did he ever refer to such context," Ampong said. "I hereby demand both Weir and Nike Air Max 2016 Romero to apologize to Pacquiao.
"We and dozens of other news outlets read the same article, in which Ampong clearly credits Pacquiao with quoting the Bible passage," writes King. "It's since been modified to clarify that Pacquiao isn't the one who made the reference." |
