Rodrigo Duterte mocked a political opponent by suggesting he is gay and “confessed” to his own homosexuality in controversial remarks.
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has claimed he was once gay but “cured” himself of homosexuality in controversial remarks made during a trip to Japan.
“Same-sex marriage is good. Everyone deserves to be happy," Duterte told his country's popular talk show Vice Ganda back in 2015. His latest comments about homosexuality follow remarks in January about gay Catholic bishops and child molestation. Duterte has clashed with the Catholic Church over its criticism of his brutal war on drugs.
"I never said I do not believe in God. What I said is your God is stupid, mine has a lot of common sense. That's what I told the bishops," Duterte said in January amid Catholic criticism of his drug war.
