Luckily, she was able to get over the uneasiness and create one of the more nuanced versions of this idea the industry had seen.

At the age of sixteen, she began competing in mixed martial arts before starting her wrestling career.

Even before that, they kissed in the ring at Judgment Day 2003, another moment that went absolutely nowhere and served no purpose.

Given their smaller scale and more intimate audience, independent wrestling promotions are far more likely to pull off a lesbian based storyline with some sort of dignity than WWE. Hugh Hefner would be another one of those men pointlessly attracted to lesbians, so the ladies were forced to hug and kiss as they appeared naked in the pages of his magazine.In an industry that has been anything but affirming for LGBTQIA+ people, queer people keep gravitating toward the camp in wrestling culture and carving out their own space in the ring. Wrestling also encourages physical fitness, teaches basic self-defense, and provides a family of wrestlers. Parker was also the first Black woman ever to win a major title in Japan, as well as the first out lesbian woman to be a world champion wrestler. Sue “Tex” Green began wrestling in 1969 and had to keep her lesbian identity a secret throughout her career. Lesbians have made an impact in every sector of American life, whether their stories are known or not.
