cameraman when he came out as gay during an impromptu interview at Los
Angeles International Airport.
A videographer stopped Young while he was getting his bags at LAX Wednesday
and asked the 33-year-old if he thinks a gay wrestler could be successful
within the WWE organization.
"Absolutely," Young said, laughing. "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. Very
happy."
The cameraman was stunned and told Young he had no idea, to which the
wrestler said he doesn't think his sexuality should matter.
"I guess if you want to call it 'coming out,' I really don't know what to
say it is," he said. "I'm just letting you know that I'm happy [with] who I
am, I'm comfortable with myself, and I'm happy to be living the dream ...
Some people might not like it. Some people will like it. I'm here to please
myself. I'm here to be happy ... I'm hoping to make a difference. It's very
important to me to make people understand that someone's sexual preference
shouldn't really matter. It should be about the person."
Wrestling blogs exploded with news of Young's coming out. He is said to be
the first openly gay male wrestler actively participating in the
professional sphere.
A representative for the WWE said the wrestling organization is proud of
Young for coming out.
"WWE is proud of Darren Young for being open about his sexuality, and we
will continue to support him as a WWE Superstar," read a statement sent to
The Huffington Post Thursday. "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."
Young began wrestling professionally in 2002 and joined the WWE in 2005,
according to Larry Brown Sports. He is currently teamed with Titus O’Neil
to form the Prime Time Players. He is currently in LA for the SummerSlam
event.
In April, Washington Wizards player Jason Collins became the first
professional male athlete actively playing in one of the country's major
leagues to reveal he is gay. Other notable pro athletes to come out include
boxer Orlando Cruz, San Francisco 49er Kwame Harris and rugby player Gareth
Thomas. | n**********y
