Kenny Omega was also a contender, as most fans consider him to be bisexual, but he’s been pretty evasive about that outside of wrestling storylines, so I was uncomfortable putting him on a list of wrestlers who are meant to be entirely out of the closet. Unfortunately leaving off retired wrestlers also excludes the much younger Kris Wolf, one of the most delightful wrestlers of the past few years, who only just retired this April due to concussion problems.

If you actually pay attention though, wrestling seems to be getting gayer every day, as more and more performers come out, and more young performers who’ve never been closeted to begin with join the business.Ī few caveats and honorable mentions: WWE Legend Pat Patterson is obviously hugely important to history as a gay wrestler from an era where that was basically unthinkable, but I want to keep this short list focused on current wrestlers whose careers you can follow right now. For those of us in the queer community who enjoy wrestling, it can be disheartening sometimes how few people like us seem to be in the business, especially when you’re focused on the mainstream product. This week, I’m celebrating Pride Month by spotlighting eight proud LGBTQ wrestlers. Matches, performers, shows - whatever is helping us enjoy wrestling in a particular week, that’s what this feature is all about.
