These Wrestlers Are Proud Members of the LGBTQ Community and Some Fans Have No Idea

These pro wrestler athletes have proved time and time again that they can body slam their opponents and provide countless hours of entertainment for their fans.

But what many wrestling fans don’t know is that in the last few years, more and more WWE athletes have become very vocal about their sexual orientation.

And with the new competitors in WWE becoming popular thanks to shows like “Total Divas,” more and more fans have gotten a glimpse into the personal lives of their favorite wrestlers. And some of the people on this list might just surprise you.

Eddy McQueen

The world of wrestling is about creating a fictional persona for the WWE’s storyline. However, Eddy McQueen wasn’t happy with some wrestlers faking being gay for the sake of ratings. “They don’t know what it’s like. They haven’t had to deal with the bullying.

It’s not authentic, and it’s like a slap in the face,” McQueen shared with Vice magazine.

McQueen may be a pro-wrestler in the ring but according to his Instagram profile, he’s also nailing it as an esthetician/lash technician. That’s just one more reason fans love him.

The other reason is the way he encourages his fans with inspirational quotes like: “So swallow all your tears my love, and put on your new face; you can never win or lose if you don’t run the race.”

Solo Dyne Darling

Solo Dyne Darling is an American pro-wrestler who works mainly as an independent wrestler. She also posted on Instagram: “I am Pansexual. I am Mexican, Puerto Rican & Italian. I am proud. I am a fighter for love.

We are unique in all the world.”

Solo Dyne Darling is Also Highly Educated

Some WWE fans might assume that a gal like Solo Dyne Darling is all muscles and no brains. But they’d be so wrong. It turns out that Darling studied music and chemistry back when she was in college, so she totally has something to fall back on if she ever wants to leave the ring.
