In July 2019, Mercedes Martinez decided to come out as a lesbian. By then, the WWE wrestler has already made a name for herself in this tough industry. She never fails to deliver when she is on the ring, so she had no problems in terms of job security. We doubt that there is any network out there that would think twice about hiring her! The pro athlete has already appeared in promotions such as World Xtreme Wrestling, Shimmer Women Athletes, and Women Superstars Uncensored. The members of the LGBTQ community must be glad that they have someone like her speaking up about their struggles.

Before he entered the ring, he was a personal trainer first. Two years into his career as a pro wrestler, he told his girlfriend of the time that he is bi. However, he eventually came to terms with his real sexual identity and let the world know that actually identified as gay more than he did as bi two years later! He was glad to get more support than he thought he would. He said, “My family, even a very homophobic uncle, were all very supportive.” Since then, he has been vocal about how important it is to be accepted since the LGBTQ community and society at large is seeing higher rates of anxiety and depression.
