A.J. Styles lifestyle is his Christian beliefs. Many have speculated if Styles has a "homophobic side" due to using some gay slurs in various interviews and during a TNA PPV in the early-2000s. Styles also had a legendary moment of responding with confusion when a fan called into a show to ask about his fan base in "the gay community." The language he used in the past was inexcusable, but it was sadly more commonly used in that time. Styles has stated he has no issues with anyone's sexual preference and even makes jokes about how "the gay community" quote became a popular internet moment.
