LGBT groups on Manny Pacquiao's apology: If he's sincere, support pro-LGBT measures Halalan2022
This after Pacquiao, a devoted Born-Again Christian, said that he has already apologized regarding his remarks to the LGBT sector.
“Clear pronouncements on LGBTQ+ issues are important because otherwise, it’s all motherhood statements. Apologies are appreciated, but it’s not just apologies we need,” Valmores-Salinas told ABS-CBN News. “If Sen. Manny Pacquiao is sincere about making amends to the LGBTQ+ community, then beyond apologies, we challenge him to publicly declare support for the SOGIE Equality Bill, for amending the Family Code and instituting marriage equality, and for fully subsidizing healthcare for all, including LGBTQ-related mental health and transition care.”
