The Post Attacking Pope Francis 

Bryan Boy posted a photo of the Pope with President Benigno Aquino III and a child welcoming Pope Francis with a warm hug last January 19.  His post was mainly about the Pope being against the LGBT community and that the Philippines is way behind other countries because of the issue against gay marriages.

Some of the statements written in the caption were:

So the charismatic Pope visited the Philippines to spread his message of compassion. But now I’m reading on the news that his homophobic ass finally spoke against gay marriage (how it threatens families), how he is against contraception — his, to a nation smaller than the state of California but with a population smaller than a third of the United States. Over 100 million people and a quarter of them living in poverty.Way to go for preaching to the poor and the ignorant!

Bryan also mentioned the LGBT community in the Philippines in his post:

I feel really, really sorry for the Filipino LGBT people… Lord, have mercy indeed! I’m in a bittersweet position because I’m extremely happy I got out of that shithole but at the same time, tons of my fellow countrymen will never ever know what it feels like to have equal rights or to marry someone they love in their country. I feel sorry for y’all! It simply breaks my heart. And to the catholic gays… Lemme remind you there is nothing catholic about taking d*** up the butt! May your God forgive you while you sniff someone’s scrotum and suck d***! Sayonara suckers, the homeland is a humanitarian timebomb waiting to happen! While the rest of the world is on the path to progress, y’all are winding the clocks back to the dark ages. Now if you excuse, I gotta go to Sunday church now — barney’s!

Bryan’s post got a lot of negative comments from the netizens attacking his post, some called him ignorant and misinformed and clarifying the state of the LGBT community in the Philippines.

As of writing, Bryan’s post now almost has 14,000 likes on Instagram and over 300 comments. But what do you think about his views on the Pope and the LGBT community? Please leave a comment below.
