Wrestling legend Steve Austin is all hot and bothered over religious zealots trying to determine peoples rights. The six-time WWF (now WWE) champ went on an epic mini-rant supporting gay marriage during his weekly podcast "The Steve Austin Show" last year. However, his positive words have only started to gain acclaim and widespread circulation earlier this week.

The 'stone cold' champ had plenty to say about LGBT rights.

"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 in the [expletive] world, that wants to be married. And if it's same-sex, more power to 'em."

The cast of "Duck Dynasty," aka the Robertson family, must be distressed that a fellow southerner has gone on turncoat on the Bible and actually used commonsense when it comes to supporting basic human rights.

Steve Austin didn't mention the Robertsons by name, but he did zero in on the fact that some bigoted churches are to blame for the anti-gay hysteria still sweeping through parts of the U.S. and the world at large.

"What also chaps my [expletive], 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 [people] talked to God, and God said that same-sex marriage was a no-can-do?"

But he wasn't done eviscerating the holier-than-thou establishment yet. Apart from the gay rights issue, Steve Austin made an awesome point about how ludicrous the notion of reconciliation works in the religious world.

"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 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."

Gay Star News has also picked up a report that fellow WWE wrestlers Darren Young and Daniel Bryan, among others, support gay rights via the NOH8 campaign.

Amazing stereotype-busting news, eh?
