I'm not posting this because it bothers me but more to explain something because the @PlayersTribune got such a big reaction. I get both positive and negative comments that say "who cares, we support you" or "it doesn't matter..he's talking about it too much" in regards to my speaking about being an out athlete. My kind of activism isn't in your face, but I do not shy away from talking about it when asked, and there's really never a time where I'm not asked about it.
If you're someone making that comment..THIS part of my life isn't for YOU. It's for those that can relate to me and the struggles that I have gone through in my life because of it. I didn't have someone to look up to and now I have the opportunity to be that others. So yes, it DOES matter.
There are plenty of other things that YOU can relate to outside of that..whether that is just the love of pro wrestling in general, losing an important loved one and promising to make them proud, getting bullied in elementary school, a POC getting called the N word in high school, overcoming being a shy introverted kid, my body transformation in the gym, etc. The list goes on.
It doesn't matter who you are, those are HUMAN experiences that a lot can related to no matter what your belief's are. If you're choosing to focus centrally on the LGBTQ+ stuff then you're tipping hand to being someone that leads with hate.
Focus on the things on the things that bring us all together, rather than getting angry at the things that make us different. You'll live a lot happier life. See you on #AEWDynamite ✂️

Be good to yourself!!! I have a problem in this arena sometimes and it takes someone telling me not to be mean to myself. We are all a work in progress.
-Be Grateful
-Love hard
- Have Humility
