After debunking Manny Pacquiao’s contention that animals don’t have same-sex relations, international singer and world-renowned Miss Saigon artist Lea Salonga has left a short but meaningful message again on her social media account following Pacquiao’s controversial statement on same-sex marriage and the LGBT community.
As the furor appeared to be dying down, Pacquiao, who will retire after his next fight in April to concentrate on his political career, rekindled the row with a post on Instagram. It featured a passage from the Old Testament’s Leviticus that describes homosexuality as “detestable” and says those who practise it “are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads”. The post soon disappeared, but not before it attracted 18,000 likes.
With Manny Pacquiao being criticized for using Bible especially the words of Leviticus to justify another attack on gays, Lea Salonga finds these things kinda ironic.
Just check out Lea’s tweets:
I have a hard time taking a tattooed human that quotes Leviticus seriously. Because Leviticus expressly prohibits body ink, too.
