Thread: Philippines prez Duterte says he 'cured' himself from being gay

Super-macho Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte kissed a boy — and he liked it!
Duterte has shocked geo-political pinheads around the world by declaring he was once gay but “cured” himself.


The controversial strongman made the remarks while visiting Japan, Rappler reports.


The dope dealer-eradicating president was mocking political rival Senator Antonio Trillanes IV by suggesting his movements reveal he is gay.


“Good thing Trillanes and I are similar. But I cured myself,” Duterte said.


He says his ex-wife was the magic bullet that helped him go from gay to straight.


“When I began a relationship with Zimmerman, I said, this is it. I became a man again,” Duterte said, adding, “Duterte is gay. So I am gay, I don’t care if I’m gay or not.”




In power, Duterte has flip-flopped on LGBTQ issues. Initially, he promised same-sex marriage but then switched to same-sex “unions.”


“Same-sex marriage is good. Everyone deserves to be happy,” Duterte told his country’s popular talk show Vice Ganda back in 2015, Newsweekreports.


He does, however, take a dim view on transgenderism. Particularly in the U.S.


“There is no gender because you can be a he or she … That’s their culture. It does not apply to us,” BBC News reported him saying.


“We are Catholics and there is the civil code, which says that you can only marry a woman for me … a woman to marry a man. That’s our law so why would you accept that gender?”


Duterte has been at war with the Catholic Church — the majority religion in his island nation. Church officials have slammed his war on drugs.


“Only I can say it, bishops are sons of bitches, damn you. It’s true, most of them are gay,” Duterte said in January.


“They should come out in the open, cancel the celibacy and allow them to have boyfriends.”
