WWE star John Cena supports gay wrestlers to come out

On an appearance of Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live,” WWE superstar John Cena addressed wrestler Darren Young’s coming out and the idea of other gay wrestlers coming out:

“My thing is this, if you’re good at your job, I don’t judge,” Cena — who has also been vocal about his support for his gay brother — told show host Andy Cohen. “Darren is really good at his job, he’s a wonderful performer, he’s a great entertainer and it’s a very, very bold move that he made to come out. So he certainly is very a brave individual for doing that.”

Cena added, “I think it’s great [Darren Young came out]. I’m glad that he finally got enough support from the people around him, or courage to make the decision that he did, so now at least he doesn’t have to live with the stress. He can be himself and nobody judges him around here.”

WWE superstar John Cena has gay brother

Check out this clip from E!’s reality show Total Divas where viewers learn, quite casually, that WWE Superstar John Cena has a gay brother.

In the episode, Nikki, who has been dating John Cena for several months joins Cena for a rare family gathering. Among the family members are John Cena’s brother Steve and his partner Darlando.

I personally like how matter of fact and comfortable Total Divas – in fact, the whole clan – is in including Steve and Darlando without any fanfare. Just as it should be.  Great family dynamic there.

Related:  TMZ caught up with Cena last month and spoke to him about fellow WWE Superstar Darren Young unexpectedly coming out. Cena is clearly very supportive Young, and speaks of his brother quite openly and directly.

The WWE has issued a statement to GLAAD regarding Darren Young 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. 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.”

WWE superstar John Cena applauds:  “Good for him. That’s fantastic. I know Darren personally. Darren’s a great guy. That’s a very bold move for him. And congratulations for him for actually finally doing it. It’s all about being professional, and Darren Young is a consummate professional. For us, it’s entertainment, and if you’re entertaining you shouldn’t be judged by race, creed, color or sexuality … as long as you’re entertaining.”
