The Courage Campaign demands Nike to Drop Manny Pacquiao


The Courage Campaign is coming for Manny Pacquiao. They are calling for Nike to drop him.

This is what they have on their website:
In an interview published Tuesday, May 15th with the conservative Examiner newspaper, the world-famous boxer and Los Angeles resident quoted Leviticus, saying:
"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
Kids all over the world look up to Pacquiao as a role model. Nike earned a 100% rating in the 2012 Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index as a pro-LGBT company. Will they live up to it?

Good riddance!
Floyd Mayweather was on the radio in Atlanta today, and Floyd says he supports gay rights, gay marriage, and he supports President Obama. Thought I'd just share that.
