Gays make good entertainers and beauticians. Many of them are talented and intelligent. But has the LGBT party-list group ever won in any elections? No. Why? Because our society still can’t accept homosexuality as normal, pardon my saying so,” he said. The columnist also advised LGBTs to keep their intimate acts to themselves to avoid alienating the majority of Filipinos. “But being tolerant doesn’t mean our society encourages same-sex marriage or passionate kissing between two men or two women in the open. If most Filipinos are scandalized by straight couples kissing passionately in public, more so gay couples petting in public. They find the latter an abomination. Please do your thing in the privacy of your bedroom,” he said. <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/mon-tulfo-defends-pacquiao-tells-gays-societal-tolerance-no-license-to-impose-their-norms-on-majority/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a>
