Nyla Rose

This powerhouse of an athlete has taken the world by storm in the past couple of years. Nyla Rose made a name for herself as the victor of the AEW Women’s World Championship. She also made history as the first American transgender female wrestler! Even though there are other athletes in the community who decided to use their sexuality a part of their persona onstage, she is not one of them. While she likes to separate this part of her life from her career, she is very vocal outside the stage. In a 2019 Pride and Joy event, she was seen sporting a rainbow wardrobe alongside Sonny Kiss, her fellow LGBTQ pro wrestler.

Sonya Deville

Born Daria Berenato, Sonya Deville is another young and gifted individual who is slaying it in the world of sports. Did you know that she is the first WWE wrestler who has ever come out as a lesbian? We are sure that she is not going to be the last one either. She has not looked back since then and even used her sexuality to amplify her ring persona. When she first appeared in WrestleMania 2018, she sported an outfit that had a rainbow theme. Considering just how big of an event it was, she was very brave to do such a thing. We are keeping our fingers crossed that she has inspired others by doing this.
