Sonya Deville Opens Up About Acceptance And Inclusion

WWE

As Pride month wraps up, Sonya Deville is opening up about representing WWE both on behalf of and within the LGBTQ+ community all year round.

Deville spoke to SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio about representing WWE and the LGBTQ+ community all year round, not just during pride month. Discussing the fan reception Deville feels she has recieved overall, she said:

“I mean, you’re always going to have hate, and you’re always going to have people who love you and accept you, and you’re going to have people who don’t. That’s something that comes along with the territory, but trying to make sure we expand the community and expand the awareness and the message of acceptance and inclusion. My platform here at WWE is something that is really important to me because (like you said) the fight is never over, you know.

“There are people out there who are still not accepting of the LBGTQ+ community. I think it is so important to spread a positive message and also to be that visual representation in WWE. So that young people today who want to be a Professional Wrestler or want to be in Sports Entertainment can kind of look at me and go, ‘oh, well, if she can do it. Then I can do it.’ It goes so much broader than that; it starts in Sports Entertainment, in the WWE with what I’m doing. It goes across the board, and we have so much of a large social media and digital footprint that I think it is important to utilize and use this platform and to spread a positive message and such.”

Sonya Deville has also recently opened up about her burgeoning business venture alongside another popular WWE star, NXT 2.0’s Mandy Rose, to open a brick and mortar donut shop.
