JJ Vincent was as surprised as you will be when you find out what pro-wrester Steve Austin thinks about gay marriage.
From Upworthy:
You know all those massive dudes who beat the crap out of each other for your entertainment on “Monday Night Raw”? Some of them have opinions on things other than the best wrestling tights to wear or whether the pile driver is more effective than the jackknife powerbomb.

CORRECTION: “absent easy methods of procreation it is likely not to be passed on”
Eric: I did not say homosexuality was a genetic irregularity. I never used the word irregularity. I said it was a recessive gene, which basically is what the Gay Rights movement says and absent easy methods of procreation it is likely to be passed on thereby ultimately resulting in a decline in the number of homosexuals, maybe even a complete eradication all because of same sex marriage. It maybe too much of a concept for you to wrap your mind around, but anyone with foresight could understand what I am trying to say. Yes to the extent that homosexuals deposit… Read more »
As far as inheritance, taxes, communal property etc — civil unions, which I am not opposed to would well serve those purposes, but I do not think same sex marriage should be placed on the same plane with the life creating one man one woman model when it comes to raising children. Adopted children of a “traditional” family model could live their entire lives not knowing their adopted parents are not their biological parents. Children of a same sex couple will discover one day that one of their adopted parents is not blood relation to themselves. The impact of that… Read more »
Eric and wolf heart
I have twice prepared a response to you and twice the response has been erased. GMP the well its really not a conversation at all, you can say what you want, but unless we like nobody will ever see it. Because you have silenced a man you have not converted him. What you said about my posts is not accurate and it misrepresents what I said, but I am not being allowed an opportunity to respond.
Think about this for second. Let’s take to be true the premise that sexual orientation is genetic, not influenced by nurture at all. It is a product of our genes. In light of the fact that homosexuals make up about 10% of the population is appears to be a recessive gene. So has the homosexual gene continued to survive? Well, they have married members of the opposite sex and reproduced passing the gene on even if they were not particularly happy about it. Passing the gene on in this manner is and was not particularly difficult or expensive at least… Read more »
Le sigh. You’re suggesting homosexuality a genetic irregularity passed only through homosexuals reproducing? An elegantly asinine theory, but no. “Homosexuality is a culture of death and heterosexuality is a culture of life.” Wow. Just wow. Had I realized that you were speaking through a filter of extremist dichotomies on par with Westboro Baptist, I probably would’ve just recommended a therapist. But, now that your religion is shoved so thoroughly in my face, might I suggest something? A sense of humor would do wonders on your journey towards emotional wellness, should you simply lay down your arms and learn to love… Read more »
Eric, You don’t get it and I don’t think I can explain it to you. My focus is on the general philosophical differences and meaningfulness of homosexuality v. heterosexuality. Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was thought to be unable to bear children, but she did. Man proposes and God disposes. As far as the Christ’s teachings on the matter the best the new testament reveals is one reference in the Gospel of Matthew and Paul’s interpretations of Christ’s teachings and they are as follows: “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its… Read more »
Exactly! In Jesus’ time, there was no gay marriage. The world as it was two thousand years ago is gone. In times past, it was considered rude not to offer your house guests an evening with your daughters. These days, that’s considered a flagrant violation of basic human rights and decency. And now we’re living in a society that is increasingly tolerant or at least aware of men that fall in love of other men. And eat shrimp scampi. My point is that the the world and the context in which your religious philosophy was created has little application today… Read more »
Anonymous My faith, and it is a faith shared by 2 billion people the world over, believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ. I was stating what proof the New Testament provides for God’s disapproval of the homosexual lifestyle. However, you should take heart because God does not hate the sinner, but sin. Redemption is at hand at anytime you seek it. I don’t believe that my faith is as antiquated as you suggest. Moreover, I have no ill will or bear no bigotry against homosexuals. I simply do not believe the government should elevate relationships that are not ideal.… Read more »
” I simply do not believe the government should elevate relationships that are not ideal.” So, you feel qualified to judge other peoples relationships as “ideal” or what…”morally acceptable’? That your personal specific set of values should be reflected in the law regarding communal property, taxes, caregiving/medical decisions, custody of children, inheritance? How is governmental expansion of those rights to same sex couples going to affect you in any way than to make you butthurt and offend your sensibilities? Again, since you seem to be very vocal on this subject: How is providing a long overdue set of civil rights… Read more »
Courage, you’re amazing. Wish I had you in my men’s group at church.
Thank you Tom. You are too kind and I am sure I would enjoy your men’s group.
Tom Brechlin and Courage should go out and you know, explore the g-spot and whatnoy They are so cute together. <3
“Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was thought to be unable to bear children, but she did. Man proposes and God disposes.” At that time, they still did not know too much about infertility. They also always assumed women were the ones with problems, when in fact it is the men’s problem in most of the cases. So she could pretty much have cheated on him with a fertile man and then got pregnant. So also, you believe people that passed their fertile age (like a 60 year old couple) should not get married, then? I don’t believe God will make 70 years… Read more »
So… what you’re saying is…. your relationship with your wife is founded upon.. baby making? With that logic, you’d be restricting sterile folks from getting married because they can’t personally make babies. Check out Hebrews 8: “By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.” Jesus made no mention of homosexuality. But if we’re going by the rules of the old covenant, yeah, gay bad. But so would be divorce, eating shrimp, shaving, wearing clothes with multiple fabrics (your skivvies are probably cotton with an elastic wasteband), and… Read more »
The difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality is the difference between a sexual act that could create a life and a sexual act that will create absolutely nothing, except perhaps a fleeting sense of well being.
But you only have sex when trying to procreate, like, seriously? Don’t lie… you have never taken prevention?
All sex I have had with women in my life have never been to have babies.

@Eric Gaby I could care less what you think. Here’s a couple pro-tips: a) don’t take your kids to pride b) incidentally, your deity put the male g-spot up there. If you’re not hitting the prostate, you’re not doing it right – See more at: https://goodmenproject.com/gender-sexuality/stone-cold-steve-austins-nsfw-take-gay-marriage-jvinc/comment-page-1/#comment-1306045 So basically Eric you are saying that I can’t take my kids into the city for fear of what he might be exposed to. What gives you the right to create an environment that is harmful to my kids. Men in advanced stages of undress is offensive to me. To the same extent as… Read more »
Incidentally, I have never paraded down the street naked. Nor will I attempt to sanitize your concept of Pride anymore than you would deny (and, at this rate, acknowledge) the innumerable acts of violence against gay people throughout history. It seems as though your narrow concept of the experiences of me and all gay people is defined largely by your recollection of repulsions, which is consistent with your personal interpretation of a rather antiquated translation of a series of loosely associated narratives written by ancient men inspired supposedly by a voice they heard in their head which they in fact… Read more »
“I’m sorry you won’t experience the male g-spot.” I wouldn’t boast about the so called men’s “G-Spot.” I have a friend who was molested throughout his childhood. Two of the many issues he had to deal with was that because of his erections, 1;) he questioned himself as to his enjoyment of the act because of his erection and 2.) his perp continually told him that if it was wrong (the act) he wouldn’t get an erection and “enjoy” what he was doing to him. So do me a favor, don’t use the male “G-Spot” as though it’s something that… Read more »
One other thing, the guy also questions his own sexuality because back when he was being molested, he had erections and at times ejaculated.
Wow. Non-sequitur. I’m sorry that the term g-spot is a trigger for you. But there is a very clear difference between sex and rape. The complexity of survivors’ trauma and recovery is a discussion unto itself, but it certainly does not mean that we aren’t allowed to enjoy the passions and pleasures of consensual sex.
It’s not a “trigger” but in the arena of child sexual abuse, it’s a reality. Personally I will never understand why a poop shooter is an area of the body that anyone would be interested in exploring. And BTW, did I say anything about “passion and pleasures of consensual sex?”
I didn’t call you a faggot. I am sorry if that is what you heard. My forebearers were the victims of oppression and violence resulting in my presence in this country (U.S.). Catholics have been and continue to be victims of bias and prejudice the world over. I don’t belittle your homosexuality, I just ask that it not be shoved in my face. Please don’t belittle my faith. I will gladly welcome you into my faith, but I will not shove it your face. I offer my faith only as an explanation for the basis of my beliefs. I am… Read more »
“Men in advanced stages of undress is offensive to me.”
And women? Because many women also parade almost naked… hmmm… you don’t want to see almost naked men because you fear enjoying it. Cool, get it.
“I also don’t feel that the government can make me recognize the equivalency of same sex marriage to heterosexual marriage.”
Because you DO discriminate against homosexuals having rights.
” As far as the G-spot ,I will pass on that, thank you very much.”
And you have to say that AHAHA! Just another American man afraid of his asshole. Come on now guys.
It’s perfectly ok if you have these beliefs @Wolfheart Gosh that makes me feel so much better. Imagine for a moment Prop 8 sought to amend the California constitution to constitutionalize same sex marriage and 7 million more Californians voted for it than voted against it and effectively 5 judges on the Supreme Court disposed of the will of 7 million Californians ruling that same sex marriage was not constitutional. Honestly what would you be saying. The fact is if you read the decision and the history of the case, there was no clear cut constitutional ruling on the constitutionality… Read more »
I support marriage equality for same-sex couples, but I think this endorsement is sort of a tie between helpful and not helpful. It is a good piece of evidence against the assumption out there that “manly men” are against same-sex marriage, but I wonder how widespread that assumption is. This probably doesn’t do the campaign any favors, though.
Based on the comments so far:
If you agree with him, he’s a famous person with a true, simple message.
If you disagree with him, then you can’t take him seriously, because after all, who cares what he thinks?
Sadly, this is about how deep the argument for the redefinition of marriage often goes. True story.
I will not overtly discriminate against gays. The fact is there is no reason for me to ever know what someone’s sexual orientation is. I find it objectionable when scantily clad men parade down the streets of our cities proclaiming gay pride. In those instances my civil rights and ability to teach my children about humility are being violated. I cannot be compelled to support gay marriage. It is contrary to my faith and no government can make me recognize the validity of same sex marriage in my personal life. The fact that you may have a constitutional right to… Read more »
It’s perfectly ok if you have these beliefs, if they only manifest and affect your own private life and you do not actively interfere with the civil rights of other people. Gay marriage as it pertains to the law is not about your-or anyone else’s- morals, spirtiuality or sexuality. It is about granting the same legal rights and pertactions to same sex couples. So I have to ask: Do you truly feel legally acknolwging gay couples comitment to each other somehow threatens you? Your children? Your sexual partners? Your civil rights? Please explain to me how the actions of consenting… Read more »
Actually, there is no reason to ever let me know what religion someone is. I find it objectionable that groups of supposedly godly people are allowed to shout, damn, and verbally harass my partner and me for holding hands. I find it contrary to my sense of justice when self-purporting representatives of a deity claim to come with a message of love and salvation, and yet have a millennia of crimes and atrocities committed against others in the name of said deity. The fact that you may have the constitutional and religious right to deposit the life creating seed into… Read more »
Well said Stone Cold Steve Austin he was one of my favorite wrestlers… I’m not gay and even i know they deserve respect and recognition by society just for what they are, human beings! We all are different anyways! So let the people do what they want!!!
And uhhh, who are YOU, again?
Professional wrestling is fake, it is phony. So Steve Austin is not a “wrestler”. He is an actor and not a good one. I wrestled in college and I can tell you what he does is not wrestling. Moreover, after listening to him he can’t put together a coherent sentence. I am someone who is not influenced by a fake who can’t speak the English language. That is who I am. I let you be guided by the likes of Steve Austin. Good luck, you are going to need it.
Awesome! Go big guy:)
Why would I be surprised by what this guy thinks about gay marriage? I am not surprised at all. He isn’t one of the deep thinkers of our day. Nor do I care what he thinks. Anybody who is influenced by what this guy thinks needs to examine what influences them.
