Sonya Deville opens up on Pride Month
Deville, WWE’s first open female gay star recently discussed the importance of Pride Month to her. She has been the company’s face during their Pride Month celebrations. She recently appeared on WWE’s The Bump, where when questioned about what Pride Month means to her. The former WWE official had these inspiring words to say:
“It means so many different things to me. I feel like, as the years go by and I evolve in my journey, I feel like it always means something different. But I look at me seven years ago, not out, not comfortable with my sexuality whatsoever, and not being able to be a voice for myself. So I think now with the platform that I have and the openness that I have, being comfortable in my own skin, I just wanna use my platform and my voice to be the voice for those who don’t have it yet.”
Deville went on to declare that the more people in the wrestling industry come out and share their stories, the more it would encourage the fans and other people watching them to come out. But she also made it clear that there is no right or wrong manner to come out about one’s sexuality:
“Everyone has a different way of doing that and there is no right and there is no wrong. And I don’t want people to think that because I decide to put my life out there that they neccesarily had to do it with theirs.”
