The problem is making it a point to have gay characters. This is a wrestling show. How many straight characters are there right now. None. Its irrelevent. Unless its a romantic story line, which we havent had many lately, sexual orientation is irrelevant. Look at Darren Young. He is a gay man. But thats not necessary to know for his character. The same way its not necessary to know that Kevin Owens, Cesaro, or Seth Rollins are straight. Based on storylines of the past year, how do we know that those guys arent gay, just based on storylines. We dont, and shpuldnt know, its irrelevant.

Sexuality serves no place in wrestling. Id be happy if they did away with lesbian and gay angles altogether - straight angles too. Can't we just have feuds over titles?

I'm against foung things like this just to appease an audience. Sulu was a character olayed by a man who was gay off screen in his own private life. We didn't need the actual character to be a gay character.
I'm ok with having gay/lesbian/whatever moments or characters on WWE and in wrestling. But it needs zero build up. Let it happen naturally and u expectedly. If you don't, and you broadcast and tease it, it will come off so forced and feel like its being shoved down the audiences throat that it will be rejected. Regurgitated. And re-aquired to only get rejected again. And again. He's gunnna, he's gunna, HE's gunna Puke!!!

This isn't going to end well... someone being LGBT isn't a gimmick.

Sexuality isn't really relevant is it.
If someone's gay, that's cool. It doesn't mean they should go round doing gay storylines. The same way they really should avoid romantic storylines. It's wrestling for God sake.

With this topic up, is anyone else surprised that Darren Young is paired with Backlund? With a parody of "Make America Great Again" no less. I love that WWE is supporting people like me. Especially since I aspire to be a wrestler. But I don't really care if people like that I'm gay or support it. I'm out to wrestle, not for anyone's acceptance.

What you said... 100% there is no reason we should give a crap about a wrestler sexual orientation unless it's a part of a storyline. It's just not needed to say; "Here's John Smith, he's a 3 time WWE World Champion looking to reclaim his title at Survivor Series... Also he's a full on hardcore homosexual." There's just no point for it being a thing, in an era where caring about someone's sexual orientation is becoming less and less prevalent by each passing year why should we care who are favorite WWE superstar/diva is in a relationship with on screen. 99% of us no that the people on screen (most of the time) aren't even really together anyway. So I say there is no reason to have made up gay characters... especially if they're going to be portrayed in Vince McMahon's stereotypical "Ha ha ha those homo people are funny!" way. *Removes soapbox from under feet.* |

Just focus on actual storylines. No one cares about a wrestlers sexuality.

I have nothing against gay people or lesbians but there is no place in wrestling for it. no one should have to "play" the gay character. If you're gay you're gay. Go out and wrestle like anyone else. This is going to be some big dumb storyline

This is going to be terrible. Not because they're gay, but because WWE will no doubt make them over the top.

Point being, sexuality shouldn't be used in wrestling. Support it, but no need to turn it into a story-line. |

How could sexuality even be used in wrestling? A tag team splits because one comes out? Then you have somebody forced to play a heel who hates Gays. It's 2016, that ain't going over well.
