And pro-LGBTQ+
In a world where people still associate wrestling with the GOP (and with WWE positioning itself with the MAGA Trump administration), AEW makes me feel REALLY GOOD about being a wrestling fan.
Actions always speaking louder than words. ❤️

AEW positioning itself as the pro-immigrant, pro-Mexico promotion in contrast to MAGA interlopers WWE is really smart. #AEWGrandSlamMexico

Excalibur Closes AEW Dynamite With ‘Fix Your Hearts Or Die’ In Support Of Pride Month
One wrestling company has its wrestlers publicly supporting trans rights & LGBTQ representation, publicly speaking (in Spanish, in Mexico!) on immigrant solidarity, and doing a THIRD RUN of ABOLISH ICE shirts where 100% of the proceeds go to people affected by ICE.
Another is complicit.

“When you lose the wrestling crowd…”
Shut the fuck up, so many wrestling fans are unbelievably leftist and fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. An ungodly amount of them do not support ICE, they do not support Trump, or any fascist cunt.
Stop saying this shit about my fandom.

Bringing this up again because i think wrestling history (especially women’s and LGBTQ+) will be impacted by future policy and we need to work to preserve this history ourselves. Wrestling is a sociocultural phenomenon worthy of historical preservation.
Since I’m posting all my thoughts on here that would get me harassed on Twitter, I have to say that I’m genuinely concerned about what will happen to wrestling history once Dave Meltzer retires (if he ever does bc he might just work forever in that office)

Yesterday I went to lunch with my best friend.
Talked to her about Hangman Page. Told her what he's all about (cowboy who throws down with women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, human rights, climate, etc).
"OMG so he's basically the Pedro Pascal of wrestling?!"
Um... YES. Actually. Yes!!!

AEW has been a real light during these times. They have been actively defiant when other companies have rolled back their support of marginalized communities. This wrestling company has shown courage when they could have chosen otherwise. Supporting LGBTQ people and migrants outloud is courageous.
