QUEER QUOTE: Nike Severs Ties With Manny Pacquiao After Homophobic Remarks


Hmmm! After another homophobic outburst from boxing champion Manny Pacquiao Nike has responded by severing their business relationship with him, calling his marks "abhorrent."

Nike's statement is today's Queer Quote:
We find Manny's Pacquiao's comments abhorrent. Nike strongly oppose discrimination of any kind and has a long history of supporting and standing up for rights of the LGBT community. 
We no longer have a relationship with Manny Pacquiao.
What did Pacquiao say? Oh he just claimed to be quoting the Bible that gay people are worse than animals:
“It’s common sense. Will you see any animals where male is to male and female is to female?“The animals are better. They know how to distinguish male from female. If we approve [of] male on male, female on female, then man is worse than animals.”
Hmmmmm, obviously Pacquiao hasn't seen this video!
