These Pro Wrestlers Take Pride In The Fact That They Are Members Of The LGBTQ Community
Darren Young
Born Fred Rosser, Darren Young revealed his sexuality in 2013. What made it such a big deal was that he came out as gay while he was working in WWE. This was the first time that anything of that sort has happened in the industry. He was aware that he had a huge platform as a big athlete, so this in itself did wonders for the community. He is a huge advocate for LGBTQ rights and even started a campaign known as “Block the Hate” in an effort to end discrimination against its members. On top of that, he also tends to integrate his sexuality into his work, even adding a rainbow flag to his presentation in the ring. It is already brave of him to accept who he is, but it is impressive that he decided to share it with the world!
