NIKE Pulls Manny Pacquiao’s Sponsorship For Gay Slur
Trainer and sports giant NIKE have pulled their sponsorship of boxing champion Manny Pacquiao after he called gay people “worse than animals”.
In a NIKE statement they said, “We find Manny Pacquiao’s comments abhorrent”, adding, “NIKE strongly opposes discrimination of any kind and has a long history of supporting and standing up for the rights of the LGBT community”.
Manny is currently a member of the house of representatives and, described as a conservative Christian, is running for a Senate seat in the Philippines.
Homosexuality is legal in the Philippines but LGBTI rights are poor. There are no recognitions for same-sex couples and no provisions made for those discriminated against because of their sexuality.

Mother’s Day And Drag Queens – What’s Not To Like
An event has been planned to bring together mothers and drag queens… What could possibly go wrong…
Nothing of course!
Rupaul’s own UK drag ambassador finalist Rujazzle is heading up to Glasgow to take part in the first ever Mummy Issues drag event for this year’s Mother’s Day.
The drag show is a part of the Creative City Festival, organised by four City of Glasgow College students and it’s due to take place on the 6th March.
Ten acts will be joining Rujazzle include Glasgow’s own Lacy Rain and newer queens such as Wig Wars winner Lucy Stewpid.
A spokesperson for the event said,
The students want to bring drag a new audience while creating a space people feel safe and without prejudice. It’s an environment encouraging fun but also awareness. With drag having changed drastically over the years and the perceptions of society changing, it’s important that people’s awareness also changes.
So if that sounds like your thing head to the Record Factory, 17 Byres Rd, Glasgow G11 5RD on the 6th March 7-10PM
