Twitter user David J recently tweeted: “I want to thank @DaveBautista for being a LGBT supporter and defender. It’s important, esp for younger gen, to see that. A true Guardian!”

Imagine his surprise when the former WWE superstar and current Guardians of the Galaxy star tweeted back: “Obviously no thnx necessary but I appreciate the acknowledgement. Proud son of a lesbian and anyone who has issue w/ that can suck my balls😊”

Bautista isn’t shy when it comes to standing up to homophobia.

Last year, when boxer Manny Pacquiao compared LGBTQ people to animals, Bautista had a clear message: “My mom happens to be a lesbian so I don’t f**king take that sh*t.”

“If anyone called my mother an animal I’d stick my foot in his ass.”

I like the way Dave thinks LOL…
