#4 WWE has spoken about doing LGBT storylines in the past
Back in 2016, Stephanie McMahon was at a Beyond Sport event in New York, where she spoke about inclusivity and incorporating LGBT storylines into the WWE product. She had this to say:
Throughout my life I have grown up knowing gay [WWE] superstars and executives. It's always been accepted, but now it's about getting that message out there.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Another thing that she made clear was that WWE writers and creative staff have received sensitivity training with regard to how to handle LGBT storylines on WWE , from GLAAD. Stephanie McMahon said the following:
We've had GLAAD come in and speak to our entire writing team and give a whole tutorial on sensitivities, the right words, the wrong word [and] why those words matters. I think that with their guidance and support, we will be able to portray that [LGBT storyline] appropriately.
