WWE star Sonya Deville was recently interviewed by App.com to discuss several professional wrestling topics. Deville talked about WWE’s recent inclusion of the LGBTQ community into the company over the past several years.
Here are the highlights:
WWE including the LGBTQ community more:
The world as a whole wasn’t as accepting of the LGBTQ community if you look back 10 years ago. (With) us being the forefront of entertainment and sport, I think it’s so important that we kind of pioneer and run this ship the right way because we are looked at by so many people and so many demographics.
Being prominently featured in WWE’s partnership with GLAAD:
It feels super special because I look back four years ago when I came out on ‘Tough Enough’ and I think back before that, not even being able to verbalize that I’m gay. And so (it’s special) to be here now with WWE by my side not only supporting and loving and accepting who I am but hopefully passing that message on to others that are in the position that I was once in.
