‘We Don’t Welcome Gay Haters’ - Manny Pacquiao Banned from the Grove, Again

The feud between The Grove and Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao dates back to 2012 when Pacman was banned over an interview in which he reportedly quoted a Bible verse that called for the death penalty for gay people. The ban was later rescinded when Manny claimed he’d been misquoted by the media.

However, things took a different turn this week when Manny and his 16-man entourage hit the center for a movie with the dust yet o settle over his latest anti-gay outburst, in which he said on a Philippine TV show that gays are “worse than animals” and later posting a Bible verse on his Instagram account that “gays should die”.

The owners of Grove were displeased to see Manny on the property, and after he left they made it clear he wasn’t welcome again.

“These are statements of hatred,” Grove owner Rick Caruso said. “A lot of people from the gay community come to The Grove and they have a right not to feel uncomfortable.”

“Manny Pacquiao is no longer welcome.”
