WWE Superstar ... I'm Gay

WWE superstar Darren Young just
dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ,
he's gay ... and no, this isn't part of
the act.Darren was at LAX Wednesday
when we asked whether a gay
wrestler could succeed in WWE, and
Darren laughed, saying, "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."For the record, Darren is now
the first openly gay wrestler ever at
WWE ... and the first headlining
wrestler ever to come out while still
signed to a major promotion. Other
pro wrestlers have been rumored to
be gay, but that's it ... just
rumors.Bottom line: this is big, big
news. For all its chauvinism and
testosterone-driven bravado, coming
out in WWE is tantamount to coming
out in the NFL.Of course, wrestling is
a little different, particularly because
of how physical it is, and how little
clothing is involved -- but Darren is
completely unfazed. Watch the video
to hear why.Current WWE Champ
John Cena is already weighing in on
Darren coming out. Check out his
reaction here.Young is also receiving
full support from the WWE ... which
says it's "proud of Darren Young for
being open about his sexuality."A rep
for the organization adds, "We will
continue to support him as a WWE
Superstar.  Today, in fact, Darren will
be participating in one of our Be A
Star anti-bullying rallies in Los Angeles
to teach children how to create
positive environments for everyone
regardless of age, race, religion or
sexual orientation."
