Pacquiao's (or anyone's) Right To Free Speech OR The Hurt Feelings Of Gay People?

[The Big Dunn]

did you know that Pac was so angry at Orton's and Beiber's remarks he drafted laws for the philpins constitution to ban beiber and orton..

SHAME ON YOU, You are worst than an animal LOL

did Pac lobby for biebers ban or that former NBA player?

Pac did not said a word.

you are all over the place dude.

Bearing in mind, gays can only express their dismay about Pacquiao's comments because they have the right to free speech too. A right they seem to be aiming to take away from Pacquiao through the recent attacks on his otherwise good character.

How is anyone saying Manny doesn't have the right to say what he wants?

To me this is a simple case of a bunch of cats saying what they wanna say. Manny said his peace, gay people said there's & then Nike said there's. No one is being stifled. Is it better to be self-stifled? I think so for guys trying to be in mainstream society & I suspect there are probably lotsa cats in the public eye out there who hate or dislike or would be more openly judging certain groups of people that would be un-PC to hate or dislike that just keep that **** to themselves.

Freedom of speech bitches use it or lose it.

Because just being : Black, Chinese ect. doesnt mean you will push liberal leftist agendas as oppose to being LGB we know what they are trying to push.

'We know...' - do you really know? There are plenty of people who say the same kinds of things about ethnic minorities.

Do the majority of LGBs push liberal leftist agendas?... or are perhaps the majority like everyone else, just trying to keep their heads down and make their way through life with as little hassle as possible? Your preconceptions are talking loud here. Discrimination is discrimination whatever the flavour.

GTFO. You know damn well its in their best interest to support the left ; They wont vote with Conservatives because they are not in line with their beliefs.

Hey why is it that people who think they evolved from apes always think they are so smart?? For example Hitler & Stalin to name just a few. I am with Pac on this 1.

Because the other group of people believe that some "god" created us? is that smarter?

There are gay people of every faith creed and political affiliation. Like every minority they cannot be treated as a ****genous group. And if the majority were to choose to support the left, so be it. That's democracy. Should they be banned from voting because of their sexual orientation?

Oh man laughs for days in this thread - A Gay conservative , Gay Republicans, Gay Christian sound legit. But Im the nut and BTW Im not a Religious fanatic or affiliated to any party.

Who says this is Manny vs Gays? Nike made a business decision to let Manny go, he's still allowed to say or feel whatever he wants but he isn't entitled to a sponsorship deal.

None of his rights are being infringed upon.

Freedom of Speech doesn't mean that you won't face backlash for the things you say. All it means is that the government cannot censor or punish you for the things that you do say. That also means that when a company like Nike sponsors you, and then you go and say some offensive **** like that, they have every right to drop you, just like now the NBA dropped Donald Sterling. You can say whatever you want, but you also have to be prepared for what follows. All the **** Manny's getting is on him. You can't blame a whole group of people for being upset when someone goes out and publicly compares them to animals.
