The Grove bans Manny Pacquiao

The link:  http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/05/16/the-grove-bans-pacquiao-for-gay-marriage-views-boxer-denies-quote/

There's just one slight problem:  Mr Pacquiao didn't actually say what he's being accused of saying!  Indeed, the article itself states this!

" Granville Ampong, the writer of the article — but not Pacquiao himself — went on to quote a passage from the Old Testament book of Leviticus, which states that “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.” " (emphasis and colour added)

Of course, if you've been following along on Twitter (or twitchy) you'd see that to those with an agenda, this little fact doesn't mean a damn thing.  Mr Pacquiao did not say what he's being accused of saying.

That is the fact.

Pity that "The Grove" and others couldn't be bothered with the facts.

NOTE:  I have contacted "The Grove" for their comment(s) and am awaiting their reply.
