Arnold Schwarzenegger Responds To Homophobic Facebook Comment In Typical 'Terminator' Fashion

Arnie 'Terminates' Homophobic Comment In Typical Fashion

Arnold Schwarzenegger shut down one homophobic commenter on his Facebook page with one simple message, following the news that same-sex marriage had finally been allowed in all 50 states in America.

To celebrate the news that same-sex couples across America were finally allowed to officially tie the knot, Facebook allowed its users to give their profile pictures a rainbow flag makeover, in support of the new law.

Former mayor of California and action star Arnie was one of the celebrities on the social media site to spruce up his Facebook picture, unveiling a photo of his ‘Terminator’ character decked out in rainbow colours, to show his support for the American men and women who had been granted the right to tie the knot.

Unfortunately, not all of his fans were in such a celebratory mood, with one of them writing in the comments section: “What’s wrong with U Arnie? I have to unlike…”

However, it doesn’t sound like he’s particularly bothered about the loss, responding with the simple message he first made famous in ‘The Terminator’: “Hasta la vista.”

Nicely done, Arnie. Nicely done.

A number of other celebrities, both gay and straight, voiced their support for America’s new gay marriage law on Friday, when the news first broke.

Harry Styles was among the first famous faces to tweet a celebratory message, alongside Kelly Osbourne, Tom Daley, Cara Delevingne and Sam Smith.
