WWE Superstar Darren Young came out to TMZ and admitted that he is gay. TMZ caught up with Young at an airport and asked if a gay male could succeed in WWE. Young laughed and replied, "Absolutely. Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I'll tell you right now, I'm gay. And I'm happy. I'm very happy."

Sexual preference means absolutely nothing and shouldn't mean anything to anyone except the individual and only the individual.

Orton was asked in an interview about this:

<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>PWTorch</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>
In an interview with satellite radio host Sam Roberts, WWE star Randy Orton was asked for his reaction to Darren Young announcing his sexual orientation to TMZ on Wednesday. Orton stated he was not aware, nor does he think anyone in the locker room was aware prior to Young's announcement.

"I'm close enough to him that if anyone else would have known - the locker room is like high school where one person finds something out and five minutes later everyone knows," Orton said. "

Asked if WWE should work Young's personal life into his character (which many fear will happen), Orton said, "I think people make such a big deal about this stuff. It's preference; to each his own. Let him do his thing."

Personnaly, i don't give sh*t if a wrestler is gay, that's none of our business and those things are kinda annoying.
On another note, if there is really discriminations in WWE like Ahmed Johnson said the guy may have burried is carrer before it even began to rise, which would be sad for him.

Good for him for coming out. He's shown his true talents with Titus O'Neil and he's hilarious.

 

[CalvTheHedgehog]

I'm not even kidding. I stood up with Zeb and said "We The People" and he's like you the Darren. LOOOL

As far as Darren Young coming out goes, I think it was great that he did it.

But if I am totally honest, I doubt that the timing was really his decision. I mean, after he confessed, the WWE almost immediately announced his involvement in a Be A Star event where he would be speaking on being yourself, regardless of race or sexuality.

I think that the WWE wanted him to become their first openly gay star, but kept telling him to put off coming out until it was convenient for them. He was taken out of the Nexus for a singles push, but then GLAAD kicked up a stink about Cena and Cole's comments.

Every time they were about to do something big with him, something about WWE and homophobia always happened. And now there is no controversy, and he has been around for a while, and just before his singles push, the timing is perfect for him to come out.

I am glad he did it. But I just hope it doesn't become a marketing gimmick.

 

[kevan1700]

i REALLY hope him being gay doesnt completely become his character/gimmick

 

[Nwo Knw]

Quoting limited to 2 levels deep[/quote]I'm shocked,black John Cena(Darren Young is commonly refered as a Cena black Look-A-Like ) is gay,while John Cena is straight,wow,that's all I can say.

:B-) [/quote]Really? Because I would have never called him the black John Cena - in-fact I seem no resemblance what so ever.

The whole Black Cena is like a joke on some wrestling forums.
