President Rodrigo Duterte implied during a speech on Thursday, May 30, in Japan, that being gay is a disease that needs curing.

It began with Duterte poking fun at his archcritic Senator Antonio Trillanes IV. He said someone gay had told him that based on the senator's movements, Trillanes is gay. Earlier in his
speech, Duterte had "confessed" that he too used to be gay.

(I said, "Are you sure?" They said, "You ask any gay person who sees Trillanes move, they'll say he's gay." No wonder. Good thing Trillanes and I are similar. But I cured myself.)
Duterte continued: "Noong kami na ni Zimmerman, sabi ko, ito na. Naging lalaki ako ulit. (When I began a relationship with Zimmerman, I said, this is it. I became a man again)."
He was referring to his former wife, Elizabeth Zimmerman.

Duterte has previously cracked jokes that he used to be gay and that Trillanes was gay too. The President wrapped up his remarks on gays by saying he has no problem if he is a
homosexual. "Bakla nga si Duterte. Eh 'di bakla, wala akong ano diyan kung bakla ako o hindi (Duterte is gay. So I am gay, I don't care if I'm gay or not)," he said.

The people who say that you can choose if you want to be gay are probably bi.

that's called bisexuality

[FlandersNed]

Either he's lying to promote some kind of gay treatment law in the Philippines, or he's lying because he's trying to save face. Given what he's said about gay people in the past, it wouldn't surprise me if he was actually.

did he eat the poopoo?

What a piece of fucking shit

[Anyx]

Course you were buddy.

[LZTYBRN]

How do you stop being gay?

[Curls]

Well
You answered your own question, if Duterte is to be believed

[XLVII]

As long as you say "no homo" it's not gay so maybe he said "never homo" which cured his gayness.

[Skerious]

I swear to god, this man has got to be the most disgusting self-serving hypocrite ever. He has no business having any kind of authority.
