Things I learned today: Wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin has a podcast, and he’s very much in support of gay marriage.
This audio clip of Austin going on a profanity-laced defense of same sex marriage was dug up by Deadspin today and, honestly, it’s pretty fantastic. Stone Cold may not exactly know how to put things, erm, “eloquently” but I whole-heartedly agree with everything he says on the subject.
“I’m for same sex marriage. I don’t give a shit if two guys, two gals, guy-gal, whatever it is, I believe that any human being in America, or any human being in the goddamn world, that wants to be married, and if it’s same-sex, more power to ’em.
“What also chaps my ass is that some of these churches have the high horse that they get on and say ‘we, as a church, do not believe in that.’ Which one of these motherfuckers talked to God, and God said that same-sex marriage was a no-can-do?”
…
“So two cats can’t get married if they want to get married, but then a guy can go murder 14 people, molest five kids, then go to fucking prison, and accept God and He’s going to let him into heaven? After the fact that he did all that shit? See that’s all horseshit to me, that don’t jive with me.”
Maybe it’s the stereotypes of southern people and the uber-masculinity surrounding wrestling, but I didn’t really expect this to come from Stone Cold. It’s kind of refreshing, honestly. Cheers to you, Steve.
