In an era where many people are coming out in large numbers to advocate for the rights of the members of the queer community, it has now become a safe space for people, especially celebrities, to be more open about their sexuality without the fear of being judged.

Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of famous people ranging from actors, musicians, and athletes being members of the LQBTQ community. Also, in the wrestling world, many wrestlers have publicly announced and embraced their sexual orientation.

Sonya Deville Came Out in 2015

Deville made history in 2015 when she went public about her sexuality on live Television after a WWE judge asked her if she was in a relationship during an interview. Deville surprised the audience after she responded that she had a girlfriend but didn't yet have a wife.

Even though they're not together, the two have something in common—they share a love for doughnuts.

"For the person I once was, and those still struggling around the globe I hope everyday we can make a small difference for the better by sharing our stories."
