I'm all for gay rights/gay marriage and things of that nature and sure, I think that most gay jokes are cheap insults, but if the biggest problem the gay community has is a muscled up jock implying that another muscled up jock is gay then they're doing alright. The gay community does have bigger problems that Cena implying Gabriel is gay, but as long as prime time entertainment can make gay jokes, and equate gay to alternative or inferior, then not even the smaller problems are going to be resolved. In some countries you can be ostracised, punished and persecuted for being gay. For those of us living in so-called enlightened countries, dropping the gay=lame equation isn't a lot to ask.

Funny how Rock made homosexual jokes all the time but nobody complains. Cena makes a little joke about Gabriel leading an alternative lifestyle and we're up in arms about it. Figures.

Making gay jokes when your job is to roll around with nearly naked, oiled muscular men...makes sense.

It's also the second time Gabriel has had a gay joke thrown his way since he debuted on NXT. Although, if memory serves, didn't he do a gay gimmick in FCW?

If people are seriously offended about what Cena said, they need a reality check.
Twitter was entertaining last night, a load of fangirls upset at Cena not because of the gay joke but because if it was true then they wouldn't have a chance with Justin, yeah that's the only reason. I'm bi and I wouldn't mind having Justin on 'our side'. lol.
Regardless, it's a joke. Seriously, i'm sure some people just jump at any chance to be offended.

I thought it was really cringe worthy..and kinda low for Cena.
That being said, I'm a massive fan of Kevin Smith and 99.99999% of his jokes are gay related humour..so, go figure.

If anyone should be angry over anything. Why not be angry over Gabriel for acting offended over the comment? That is basically saying he considers it an insult to be gay.

If he said Gabriel likes blowing Vuvuzuela's I would have laughed, thankfully the 'joke' died on its ass.
To be honest I completely forgot about it when Gabriel was wrestling, WWE is obviously high on the guy so thats all that matters.

Well, Alvarez on Observer Radio said that he's straight, and wouldn't reveal who he is dating on the air - probably is dating someone within the 'E. According to a twitter of one of the members of these forums who was at Summerslam and clubbing with the superstars after, Its Kelly (Not me, though)

All of you need to stop being butthurt. Where where you when Virgil around for the first time. It's a gay joke. Every "minority" gets one. They happen.

I was not surprised at all. Every old Cena promo I've seen has consisted entirely of very poor gay jokes. "You can have my number, since your the one that likes playing with balls." "Gangrel was sucking blood, you were sucking something else." This is just who the guy is. A homophobic bigot. Unreal....Some of you people are just f***ing amazing....

Not everyone is offended about it, and I stated that I found the joke lame, but not offensive. I hate comments like this.

I hated it and I believe that at some point in the future (I have no idea how long) WWE will be ashamed/embarassed of this type of humor...especially when the super babyface (who appeals to kids) is taunting someone by implying that they are gay as if being gay is something for which you should taunt someone...though this is far from the first time Cena (or a WWE babyface) has done this (The Rock and the DX have done it).

This isn't anywhere near as offensive.

not offended by it, agree it was stupid, along with 95% of his whole promo. Was quite pleased that the joke bombed with the audience though.
