Personal thoughts on the Manny Pacquaio issue.

Taken from my facebook page:

"I absolutely abhor Vice Ganda but I'm indubitably not anti-LGBT. In fact, I'm agnostic and doubtful of the laws that govern our country.
What I am, though, is pro humanity. Something Vice Ganda should be (despite calling herself a horse. *snicker snicker*) and what Catholicism should be for.
Personally, I don't understand the hullaballoo that is anti-LGBT. Why do you have to negate the existence of these beautiful people? What is the point of denying these people of their rights? Why is the bible, the book whose foremost intention is to propagate peace and love, being used for so much hatred?It's funny how these rational and substantial questions are mostly answered with inadequate and often asinine answers from people either uneducated enough to know anything or are just plain condescendingly prejudiced. The funny thing is, these people don't even know how earth-shattering Manny's statement is.
To all the homophobics out there, listen up: these LGBT peeps aren't going anywhere. They aren't plagues to society but a big part of the same human race that built it.
It's either you learn to accept them as members of society or you die fighting for something not worth anything.
Edit: so someone shared this post and added the hashtag ‪#‎ProHumanity‬ . That person is a genius. That hashtag should be a thing.
#ProHumanity #ProHumanity #ProHumanity #ProHumanity #ProHumanity #ProHumanity #ProHumanity #ProHumanity"

I would like to expound my first sentence. I don't like Vice Ganda. I absolutely dislike her. Her style of comedy is too offensive. Heck, it's tasteless. Despite my somewhat innate hatred towards comedians like her, I respect her as a person. That being said, I understand her plight but I cannot fully agree that she is the most credible person in terms of "being offended" ergo I'd rather LGBT members like Pitoy Moreno, Raymond Gutierrez, Aiza Seguerra, Tim Yap, (et al) were the faces of the issue, and not her.

Meh. These are just my opinions anyway.
Who cares, right?
