You'd think that most wrestlers would be pretty liberal about homosexuality, both because of the prominent gay wrestlers and because of the homoeroticism that wrestling can sometimes be accused of (I'm bisexual and was a semi-pro wrestler, I'm allowed to say that) but a lot of people in the business are really conservative (although they often tend more towards the libertarian side of conservatism).

That said, the business has changed a lot in the last twenty years and the good ole boys aren't in charge so much anymore. There are still racists and homophobes around but (with the exception of Michael Hayes), they know enough to keep their mouths shut. Darren Young came out and the company and most of the talent supported him (and it hasn't hurt his career, he's just as wasted now as he was before).
