Batista Shares Pride Month Post On His Mother Raising Him In The LGBT Community
Former WWE Champion Batista took to Instagram this week to pay tribute to his mother for Pride Month.
The Animal talked about how his mother, a "strong lesbian raised a strong man" and how he couldn't be more proud of her. He also had some choice words for anyone who doesn't support the LGBT community or Pride Month.
"Loud and proud when it wasn't ok to be loud and proud. She never apologized for who she was or who she loved. Which is why I never did either. And never will! A strong lesbian raised a strong man and I couldnt be more proud of her. We lived in the Castro during the Harvey Milk years. She volunteered with every bit of strength and heartbroken energy she had with The Names Project . She still volunteers in San Francisco helping the homeless and mentally ill. She is the reason I am who I am. Every decent part of me as a human being is directly because of my mother. I celebrate #lgbt Pride month with her and everyone else from the community that I was raised in. And if anyone has issue with it, I said before and I'll say it again, you can suck my balls! I love you mom!," he wrote in the post.

I asked my mom for a picture of her from the 70's because I wanted to do a post for pride month. She sent me this one. Then I said "do you have any without a big marijuana poster and a guy rolling a joint in the background?" She said " hey it was the 70"s! We were high 7 days a week!" anyway this is my mom. Loud and proud when it wasn't ok to be loud and proud. She never apologized for who she was or who she loved. Which is why I never did either. And never will!
