Discussions about giving rights for members of the LGBT to form a civil union usually light up the Internet.

One clear example is the massive firestorm that resulted from Manny Pacquiao’s statements against gay marriage.

The world-class boxer and senatorial candidate said that members of the LGBT community are lower than animals, and this comparison did not sit well with LGBT advocates.
