Manny Pacquiao: 'I'm sorry for comparing homosexuals to animals, I'm praying for you'

My cup mouth runneth over.

Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao found himself in hot water this week after suggesting homosexuals were worse than animals. But "Pac Man" insists he's not homophobic and does not condemn the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.

He's simply following the word of god, according to his apology on social media (transcribed by Bloody Elbow):

"I'm sorry for hurting people by comparing homosexuals to animals. Please forgive me for those I've hurt. I still stand on my belief that I'm against same-sex marriage because of what the Bible says, but I'm not condemning LGBT.
