WWE superstar Darren Young Comes Out

The Christofascists and their political whores in the Republican Party like to depict gays as mincing, effeminate men or drag queens, so it is always delicious when a public figure comes out and blows this carefully crafted and inaccurate stereotype utterly to Hell.  We can now add the name Darren Young (pictured above) to the list of individuals who have revealed the bogus nature of the gay stereotype promulgated by our enemies.  As TMZ reports, Young, a superstar in the WWE world just came out as gay.  Here are story highlights:

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.

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."

Tony Perkins, Bryan Fischer and other anti-gay hate merchants must be beside themselves.   I love it!!
