Go to the comments section, there are some "fans" who can't contain themselves.

Which is amusing because Arnold has been supportive of gay rights since he was a lifter / model.

Probably just as the polls were shifting.

But as far as I understand he had positive stuff to say about gay people in his weightlifting days, here's an article from 1977 where he talks positively of gay people (WARNING, he uses the F word to refer to gay people, but I don't think it's meant as an insult in the context): http://daggy.name/cop/effluvia/arnold.htm

There were too many comments for me to read through. Just got home from work and I am tired.

But the Arnie facebook page did change profile pic to the pic shown in the OP and there were like 2,500 comments under the pic.
