Gay or Effeminate Gimmicks and Gay Wrestlers

[Richard Wilkinson]

So I am trying to compile a list of gay or effeminate gimmicks in wrestling history i can think of

Gorgeous George
Adrian Street
Adrian Adonis
Goldust
Lenny & Lodi
Billy & Chuck
Rico
Orlando Jordan [TNA]

also wreslers that are actually gay i can think of

Pat Patterson
Darren Young
Jim Barnett [promoter]
Orlando Jordan
Chris Kanyon

are there any other rumoured gay wrestlers? I always read that Harvey Wippleman and Steve Lombardi were gay, is this true and where do these rumours come from? Also Moolah and Mae Young I have read and heard before they are gay, again is this ture and where do these rumours come from?

Thanks for the help guys its for a project

Here are some more, courtesy of the Google machine:


Christopher Street Connection had a pretty good run on the indy scene in the early 2000s, particularly in the northeast in promotions such as ROH and JAPW, performing as an openly gay tag-team.




Orlando Jordan is bisexual (rather than gay) and actually got married last year.





In Japan, there's Razor Ramon Hard Gay/Hard Gay, which is self explanatory.





Razor Ramon Hard Gay has also been in a tag-team with a pro wrestler named Razor Ramon Real Gay.




Also based out of Japan, there is current DDT Gay World ANAL Champion (?!?!?) Danshoku Dino who's gay gimmick is inspired by Adrien Street.




And while this gimmick seemed more like psychotic stalker than gay, Mickie James' early days in WWE including an angle with Trish Stratus that definitely had sexual tension between the two.







There seem to be several small indy promotions that are gay themed, such as:





Retired Canadian pro wrestler Sandy Parker is a lesbian.




Major Gunns is bisexual



In lucha, there is the "Exóticos" subculture featuring wrestlers such as  Cassandro.

It's an entire industry built around jacked up, shaved down, oiled up men rolling around with each other in speedo's infront of largely male audiences... the entire thing is overloaded with homoeroticism.

Samoan Snacking Machine basically nailed it.

What is this project?

You could also throw Brittany from TNA into your list of people who have played gay characters.

Good observation about Brittany being added to the list for her onetime infatuation with Madison Rayne and the sexual overtones that included.




And for the OP working on his project, he can even bring things full circle with Brittany and note that during her first (albeit brief) TNA stint, she was part of Orlando Jordan's entourage when he was coming down from the rafters wrapped in caution tape and squirting body lotion on himself.





And this clip is very much open to interpretation.

There was also the implication that Mickie and a debuting Beth Phoenix had some kind of history.

Cheers dude massive help. I tried that damn machine and didnt dig up the indie works so thanks for that.

Orlando Jordan is bisexual (rather than gay) and actually got married last year.

Yeah man i realized that, this is not the thread to talk sexuality (surprising considering the title) but I included OJ in the "gay" section for arbitrary reason alone. Thanks for the input tho. As if I forgot Danshoku Dino, HG and RG. I mean come on how can you forget


As for Sandy Parker, never heard of her before thanks. ive heard little of the Exóticos from AAA on the MLW pods. Major Gunns being bi-sexual doesnt really surprise me, has she done porn?


I recently listen to a Mickie James shoot and she said that this was planned


but this

wasnt planned and Mickie claimed she did it on her own accord, resulting in Mickie getting beasted by Vince when she came through gorrila after the match

Its a video based project. Actually while im on the subject I would really like any input from people over a variety of subjects. In no way are the other topics similar to this one and there is really a bigger picture so to speak. This is just the start of it for me. If you are interested in this then please PM me. Espically if you are based in England

As for Brittany in TNA. Who? thanks dude this is the sort of stuff that is very helpful. These little attempts at sexuality based storylines.

So was wondering if anyone knows which Tuesday Night Titans this is from
