Joe Rogan calls anti-gay-marriage advocates ‘weak ass bitches’

Joe Rogan, whom you might remember as the muscly grunt worker from NewsRadio or the constantly chuckling host of Fear Factor, is apparently a pretty big supporter of gay marriage. Yeah, I know right? It’s nice having an ally whose hobbies include punching people into unconsciousness in MMA fights.

In a recent podcast on his website, Rogan went on the record about his support for equal rights, calling people who oppose gay marriage “weak ass bitches.”

Say what you will about his word choice, but it’s nice to see straight allies, especially ones who have large straight bro audiences, voice their support for the queer community. (Rogan also has an interview with Buck Angel that’s worth a listen, too.) Maybe it’s a matter of grading on a curve, but it’s not often that straight boys publicly come out in support of us, so it’s nice to see one with the decency to do so.
