but let me guess. if it's a racist slur, it would be way worse right? As has been said, it's 2011, so then why is homophobia/transphobia still regarded less highly than racism/sexism. I'm not some ridiculous PC type, but Punk making this sort of comment as an insult AND in public is just pure ignorance. I know he's the golden child and all, but I don't get why people are praising this kinda crap. No. People need to get over race slurs and stop pulling out the race card all the time. Bingo. Racism and homophobia aren't even on the same level, and Punk calling someone a homo isn't being homophobic in the least. My gay friends call other people homo all the time. Don't even compare it to racism. The f word (not sure if safe to use on the forum) is the equivalent of the n word, if anything. It's outrageous that some people get all up in arms over craplike this.

Either way.. It was kind of funny. Not the best, I'm still in love with "I'M NOT EVEN HOLDING A MICROPHONE!"
But he has some nerve pulling out gay jokes, with that HUGE DIRTY SANCHEZ across his top face-flap. I'm still waiting for the day I get to trade words at a house show with someone like him or Jericho.

TMZ Picks Up CM Punk's Gay Slur Story Posted by Jeremy Thomas on 07.04.2011
And WWE responds…
- TMZ has picked up the story of the video where CM Punk shouted "You homo!" at a fan in Australia today. They noted that the company works with GLAAD and produced the anti-bullying commercials after Michael Cole and John Cena's incidents.
A rep for WWE said, "WWE does not condone this type of language or bias and we reinforce that with our talent who are independent contractors."

That man is beyond amazing. I am really going to miss him if he leaves. He can surprisingly pull off that mustache too.

Some people like the stache, some don't. His hair is the worst. It looks super nappy in the midst of a match. It appears super stiff and greasy... Sometimes it even has this way of sticking out a good bit but in just ONE area after receiving a DDT or something like that.
But as I said. It's funny he went the gay joke route when he has that Salad Tosser's Shield.

Regardless, it appears that Punk is apologizing. Whether he's been forced to or not remains to be seen:
CMPunk CM Punk I'm glad TMZ posted that video because everybody needs to be held accountable for their bullshit, me included. What I said was bullshit. CMPunk CM Punk ...I'm embarrassed. I own up to being a total douche in this situation and I offer a sincere apology to anybody I hurt with careless words.

CM Punk has posted a few positive things on twitter about gay marriage and how ridiculous it is how hard they have to fight for it. I know it hasn't been said but let it be known that Punk is not a homophobe, just a person who has a slip of the tongue every now and then. S*** happens but of course every over sensitive person will make a bigger deal out of this then needs to be made.

You cannot compare Punk to Warrior. Warrior is a bigot, Punk is not. Punk has talked about his support of equal rights for gay people. In fact when marriage equality was passed in NY and a fan talked about how awful it was, Punk basically told her to off.

I obviously don't know what caused Punk to go off on the fan, but he had to know calling him a homo would come back to haunt him. Seems like he lost his cool. I really don't think there was anything wrong with what he said, it's just the world that we live in now. People are gonna capture this stuff on cell phones and it'll come back to bite you.
PS - His stache really is awesome.

Like the stache, and most of the rant was pretty hilarious.
I agree that people shouldn't use the word homo, or other derogatory terms like that. but I also think people are blowing this out of proportion, as people are want to do.
I liked Punk's apology, it seemed sincere, and not the typical corporate apology, so that's a plus.
I'm going to be said when he's gone.
