WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin comes out in support of gay marriage
HOLLYWOOD, April 24 (UPI) -- During a segment of his podcast that is quickly going viral, WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin strongly came out in support of same-sex marriage during a profanity-laced tirade about the subject.
“I don't give a [expletive] 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," Austin said on the show.
"What also chaps my ass, 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 [expletive] talked to God, and God said that same-sex marriage was a no-can-do?"
The 49-year-old then brought up the church's hypocritical stance about the issue.
"OK, 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 [expletive] prison, and accept God and He's going to let him into heaven? After the fact that he did all that [expletive]? See that's all horse[expletive] to me, that don't jive with me."
Austin is married and has two biological children and one adopted child.
According to the description of the “Steve Austin Show,” the ex-wrestling champ “lets loose on these no-holds barred, explicit versions of the program.”

Rapper Tyler, The Creator arrested at South By Southwest
AUSTIN, Texas – Rapper Tyler, The Creator, was arrested Saturday for allegedly inciting a riot during a show at the South By Southwest music festival.
Travis County Sheriff's spokesman Roger Wade said the Odd Future rapper, whose name is Tyler Gregory Okonma, was arrested at Austin-Bergstrom Airport and was likely to be arraigned later Saturday. If convicted of inciting a riot, which is a misdemeanor, he faces up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
His bond was set at $3,500.
The rapper's publicist declined to comment about the arrest.
Police say the 23-year-old Los Angeles resident incited a large crowd of fans at the annual music conference and festival to push their way past venue employees controlling access to a Thursday show that was already at full capacity.
Officers who were at the scene said in a warrant that Tyler yelled for fans to push their way inside twice, and that a bartender had to protect a woman from injury in the resulting push.
Police released a video from the concert that shows scores of fans bursting through a gate at the Scoot Inn in downtown Austin.
Tyler and members of the Odd Future collective were denied a visa to travel to New Zealand in February after officials there said they were a potential "public threat" because of past troubles, "including incidents at past performances in which they have incited violence." They pointed to a 2011 incident in which police were called to a comic book store in Boston where fans became unruly.
The group's manager, Christian Clancy, defended them last month after the New Zealand decision, saying they were young at the time and were being judged too harshly.
