Last February, Pacquiao drew flak from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community (LGBT), after a clip of him saying that couples in same-sex unions were "worse than animals" had emerged. A number of celebrities criticized Manny for his statement. (READ: Stars react to Manny Pacquiao's comments on same-sex unions)
Pacquiao has since apologized for the comment, saying he did not mean to offend the LGBT community. He maintained, however, that he's not for same-sex marriage. – Rappler.com
