Sonya Deville is the first openly gay female star and will soon be making her Pride parade debut representing WWE.
Sonya Deville spoke about the plans on the Pat McAfee Show for the upcoming appearances, saying:
“Pride month is coming up and I am participating in the West Hollywood Pride Parade, which I’m super excited about. I’m representing WWE as the first openly gay female. We are going to have a float, or an exotic car of some sort, in the LA Pride Parade this year.”
Explaining what makes Pride events special, Deville went on to say:
“It’s camaraderie, visibility, being with WWE and representing WWE in a parade like this is showing so many people who grow up wanting to be wrestlers or just watch wrestling, ‘Hey, you’re welcome here and you’re represented and loved,’ not just be me, but by the entire company, we support you. It’s big messaging for the company and I’m glad to be there and pioneer it and talk about it and celebrate.”
2022 marks the inaugural event for West Hollywood, dubbed WeHo Pride the festivities are set to kick off June 3rd through June 5th 2022 with LA Pride weekend kicking off the subsequent weekend June 10th through 12th in Los Angeles including a parade and concert headlined by Christina Aguilera.
