WWE’s Finn Bàlor Hits The Stage Surrounded By LGBT+ Fans To Spread A Message Of Inclusion – Honest Effort Or Publicity Stunt?


WWE's Finn Bàlor Hits The Stage Surrounded By LGBT+ Fans To Spread A Message Of Inclusion - Honest Effort Or Publicity Stunt?

Finn Bàlor made his Wrestlemania debut with much fanfare. The WWE wrestler entered the stage surrounded by members of the LGBTQ community of New Orleans who were wearing black t-shirts with the rainbow colors in the center and the legend “For Everyone”.

The announcers explained that Finn was pushing this inclusive initiative as a central message of his “Bàlor Club” and that 20% of the sales of those t-shirts benefits GLAAD charity. The response on social media seems to be overwhelmingly positive considering the historic antecedents of homophobic rhetoric used in the past by many pro wrestlers but some detractors are implying that Bàlor is doing this stunt just for the publicity. Either way, Finn seems to be riding the wave and he also used it to challenge John Cena for the Universal title. Now all that remains to know is if this ally will be able to galvanize the entire LGBT+ community support in his future matches. One thing is sure, if he continues using those sexy tight shorts he sure as hell gets ours!
