"Kill yourself": Wrestler CM Punk's chilling response to British fan in row over gay marriage

The wrestler delivered the message to a WWE fan who disagreed with his same-sex marriage views




Twitter controversy: CM Punk

CM Punk, one of the world's most popular wrestlers, delivered a chilling retort to a British WWE fan who disagreed with his views on same-sex marriage this evening, tweeting: "Kill yourself".
Having expressed his disgust at the perceived likelihood that the Amendment 1 ballot measure in North Carolina's ban on gay marriage will pass in the US state, the WWE champion continued a Twitter dialogue on the subject with other users throughout the day.
He tweeted: "Same sex marriage should be legal. The fact that it's illegal is embarrassing."
Twitter follower EzeeKay of Walsall in the West Midlands disagreed, writing:"Man was meant for woman, and even the thought of homo's make me sick."
Punk retweeted this message and added "Kill yourself" in response.
In another reply, the 33-year-old wrestler advised a fan who disagreed with him to "drink bleach."
He tweeted @super_herochic: "no. You're an idiot for comparing a hole in a wall or a dog to a human being. Drink bleach. That's natural (selection)."
Punk, real name Philip Brooks, has built a realistic persona as part of WWE programming as a audacious and liberal spokesman for the people, unafraid to stand up against the promotion's more elaborate displays of corporate wealth.
Twitter spats are not a new experience for Punk, following his war of words with singer Chris Brown in February where he tweeted: "I would like @chrisbrown fight somebody that can defend themselves."
The publicly-traded WWE currently endorses an anti-bullying campaign alongside entertainment lobbying The Creative Coalition called 'Be A Star', for which Punk has appeared as a company representative.
Responding to a user that brought up the campaign after his remarks to EezeKay, the wrestler tweeted: "hey moron, don't try to hide behind the be a star campaign. I am a star. I'm fighting bigots here. Zero tolerance."
The social network is seen as a central part of wrestling's storyline development, with frequent onscreen reminders as to what WWE aspects are trending during their flagship programming's transmission.
In contrast to the sentiments expressed today to his 870,000-plus followers, Punk has previously included homophobic slurs in his performance.

Footage shot by a ringside fan in Adelaide, Australia from July last year during a touring WWE event shows the wrestler arguing with a fan and telling them that they have a "homo" haircut.
