The Huffington Post recently spoke with Hulk Hogan about gays in professional sports. Hogan commented on athletes who have come out in recent years:
“I think everybody’s been reeducated, so it’s not that big a deal. At least for me — and I can only speak from my heart — I’ve got people all around me who are gay, so it’s not an issue with me. I think the whole world feels like that now.”
Hogan also commented on gays in wrestling and WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson:
“I knew Pat was gay back in 1976, when he helped me start wrestling. Whenever I see Pat, I give him a big hug and kiss. He’s my guy! There are several wrestlers in Japan who are gay. I’ve just never looked at it as anything weird. It was normal.”
