LA mall bans boxing champ for anti-gay commentary
Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao suddenly stepped into a political hellhole this past weekend when he expressed disagreement with President Obama's stance on gay marriage. To drive home his point, Pacquiao pulled out a particularly unfriendly quote from Leviticus about same-sex partners, saying that gay men are to be "put to death." Pacquiao lives and trains in gay-friendly L.A., where a number of folks are outraged with the champ's stance. A local mall, The Grove, has banned Pacquiao from its premises, even though he was supposed to do an interview with the entertainment show "Extra" there today. Guess Manny will have to go to the movies instead of shopping on Friday nights.
