Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is making a claim that is drawing outrage from a human rights group. Duterte claimes he used to be gay but “cured” himself by marrying beautiful women. Duterte was speaking to members of Tokyo’s Filipino community last week when he said he – quote “became a man again” when he married his ex-wife, Elizabeth Zimmerman, a flight attendent. Duterte claims from that point on he hated handsome men and now prefers beautiful women. He’s also begun using homophobic slurs to insult his political foes. Duterte’s comments drew the ire of the Human Rights Campaign director Jean Freedberg, who called on Duterte to put an end to making insulting and often nonsensical remarks about LGBTQ people.
