Former ABS-CBN journalist and now Wheels Philippines Magazine editor-in-chief Ira Panganiban posed this question to the LGBT community even as he twitted them for not being able to handle a mere opinion by Manny Pacquiao. “Yes I understand your concern. And yes it was a bit of insensitive of Manny Pacquiao to have said what he said about gays being worse than animals,” he wrote on his <a href="https://web.facebook.com/irabernardovpanganiban?ref=ts&fref=ts">Facebook</a>. “But see, he was asked his opinion on public television. It’s not as if Pacquiao was walking around preaching and telling people how to act and what to do. Manny has never been the kind to dictate to people how to be.” Panganiban then pointed out the times Pacquiao was made fun of by gays but never retaliated and compared it to the current reaction of the LGBT community over his opinion. “When the same members of the gay community made fun of him and his mother, Pacquiao took it all in stride. When people blast him for his intelligence, the champ did not get mad, when they called him idiot, he just went and won championships,” he wrote. Describing the LGBT community as “like little babies condemning him to the high heavens” because they cannot handle the boxer’s opinion, Panganiban said they should look at themselves and ask who’s the real bigot — them or Pacquiao. “Guess what the definition of “Bigot” is? Here, let me tell you, “bigot – a person who has no tolerance for the belief and opinion of others and forces their own opinion on others,” he said. “Now, who is the bigot? Who cannot take the opinion of others and forces their belief on him? Take a wild guess.” <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/ex-abs-cbn-reporter-defend-pacquiao-asks-lgbts-bashing-him-whos-acting-like-a-bigot-now/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a>
