Before we dive into my control list of notable LGBTQ performers, I need to place out this caveat. The names on this list are by no means every lesbian, homosexual, transgender or lgbtq+ performer ever. Some will not be on it. Actually, probably a lot won’t be on it, as I’d bet that some lived their entire careers in the closet, sadly. What this list will present is LGBTQ wrestlers who stood out to me. These individuals did something that impacted me, and that is why they are on this list. With that said, let’s speak about notable Queer wrestlers throughout history.

Pat Patterson is here because he blazed a trail that many didn’t even grasp he was blazing. From all accounts I have peruse or heard, a lot kind of guessed at Patterson’s personal life decisions. Yet, given the way the society was when he was younger, it was his covert. Patterson had a

    You know I was watching WWE Raw the other week and I saw Edge get in Randy Orton's face they were in kissing distance of each other and they looked like a lgbtq+ couple.

    So I guess you guys are right pro wrestling is a little gay but at least these wrestlers don't make out with each other on tv because then pro wrestling would be completely homosexual.

    13 WWE Wrestlers Who Name As LGBTQ+

    For decades, homosexuality was an uncomfortable subject in the WWE. For example, Dustin Rhodes' Goldust persona pretended to be gay, using homosexuality as a means to attract heat, while Chris Kanyon, who was legitimately queer , hid his sexuality to prevent it from causing him any professional turmoil.

    Today, most fans accept that talent comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and sexualities. Wrestling fans own become much more accepting of the LGBTQ collective. This has, in twist, resulted in more LGBTQ representation in wrestling today than ever before. Here are 13 WWE wrestlers, past or present, who identify as LGBTQ.

    The Homosexual community has come a long way in professional wrestling. In the past, the community was not given much respect when it came to the storylines that they were represented in. However, in 2025, things have thankfully changed for the greater. Many wre

    Last week, Anthony Bowens — a lgbtq+ Black wrestler with All Elite Wrestling and one of the first openly gay wrestlers to hold a major championship belt — stood in the center of the ring while thousands of fans chanted, “He’s gay.”

    While that sounds enjoy a traumatic trial, it was actually a heartwarming event that represents a sea change in how gay performers are treated in the traditionally homophobic sport of pro wrestling. AEW has championed the LGBTQ community from its inception and the segment, which aired on AEW Rampage, was part of a storyline between Bowens’ tag team, The Acclaimed, and QTV, a rival group. QTV member Harley Cameron, a woman, approached Bowens about creating a “power couple,” to which Bowens replied, “Lady, I’m gay.” 

    As soon as he said it, the crowd erupted in cheers. The “He’s gay” chant was celebratory and and Bowens’ tag team partner and manager jumped for delight. While he’d arrive out years ago, Bowens’ in-ring pronouncement during a scripted segment, as a natural part of a storyline —coupled with the crowd’s embrace — would have been unimaginable even a scant years ago.

    Queerness in wrestling has often been treated as a tra
