Sonny Kiss Calls For LGBTQ+ Pushes "Not Just In Pride Month"
AEW star offers assessment of LGBTQ+ scene in wrestling at present.
AEW wrestler Sonny Kiss has called for companies to continue the support of LGBTQ+ athletes beyond Pride month.
Speaking to Hollywood Life, (h/t Ewrestlingnews) Kiss said;
“I think the overall vibe and attitude this year is – let’s just keep doing what needs to be done, and that’s delivering the message of what PRIDE truly is and means. Many people think it’s some sort of contest or a way to throw our identities/sexuality in people’s faces. We have PRIDE to celebrate triumphs, to educate people, to explore more about ourselves and others who may have had a similar journey – it’s a beautiful time of year..There are no longer any ceilings for us. We are making it happen in all facets. I would like to see all LGBTQ+ professional athletes, signed and unsigned, to keep being seen as sellable and pushed into the mainstream outlets all year round and not just during Pride Month...Please remember that there are no longer any ceilings for us. We are making it happen in all facets. From fashion to pop culture to sports and professional wrestling – we are IT! We always have been. Keep pushing! You are more than capable.”
Kiss last wrestled for AEW on the June 11th Dark tapings, picking up a victory over Lamar Diggs, having also worked for SWO, ECPW, IGB and Enjoy in 2022.
