WWE might be one step closer to LGBT inclusion.

During a Beyond Sport United event, WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon told NBC Out that the WWE is open to integrating LGBT characters and storylines.

“Throughout my life I have grown up knowing gay [WWE] superstars and executives,” McMahon told NBC OUT. “It’s always been accepted, but now it’s about getting that message out there.”

McMahon gave an example with the first ever WWE Intercontinental Champion Pat Patterson. In his book, “Accepted” Patterson describes coming out on a reality show and recalls the positive response he received.

McMahon continued that WWE has partnered with GLAAD to make sure storylines are written with LGBT sensitivity in mind.

“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 words, why those words matter,” McMahon says. “In terms of any issues that require a degree of sensitivity in terms of how they’re being handled, we are always going to incorporate our partners, like GLAAD, to help us tell those stories the right way, because we do want to be sensitive to our audience, we want to be sensitive to the community and we want to make sure that we’re telling the right messages in the right way.”
