      Vince was a closet homosexual as well. There are stories of Shawn Michaels doing sexual favors for Vince because he basically let him do whatever he wanted in the 90s with the clique. A few people have confirmed those rumors. Pat Patterson and Ray Stevens were predators of young boys who worked for WWF . Chris Kanyon should have kept it to himself. He was able to work all those years as a professional and great worker in the business.

    I used to talk to Kanyon on MySpace he didn’t wanna talk wrestling. He wanted to talk movies, fitness and food. One time he said “is it ok if I keep our conversation?” I thought he meant just not deleting it. But apparently he would print them out and put them in a filing folder. He was super SUPER nice.

    James Mitchell told the story that he lived with Kanyon for a while and thought he was gay, but I don't think it was ever confirmed. He said a while after he moved out Kanyon was moving and his family came down from New York to help him. One of the boxes broke while they were moving and gay porn fell out. Kanyon told his family that it was James Mitchell's porn. Kanyon then called Mitchell to tell him the story and ask him to go with it if his family ever asked. I believe that is when he came out to Mitchell.

And also someone who has loved and been a part of this business for 30yrs in a small marketing capacity for my local ind fed. I'm glad that MORE talent has felt comfortable in being able to come "out" without issue. Unfortunately for Chris it was during a time in this nation where it just wasn't accepted. However, we've come a very long way since then but still have a long way to go. Their are FAR FAR more people in this industry who are gay lesbian then fans can even begin to comprehend. Yet they are still living in fear of being outed. It's high time for that shit to end. Because it's not the attraction to their opponent they have. It's the attraction and love they have for THIS BUSINESS.

So all the undertaker was doing according to maven was kanyon was paying his dues just like other wrestlers.
    Also pat patterson was gay and for the amount of time patterson and the undertaker spent in the wwe i would say that the undertaker probably has lots of respect for patterson and probably wouldn't assault another gay guy out of hate

      I don't know, if you hate on someone just because their sexuality is different than yours then that just looks bad on you as a person. If they continually hit on you after you tell them you're straight then that's one thing but if someone is minding their business just let them live their life is my attitude. I think that people who claim to be straight and who hate on gay people who don't bother them may be secretly closeted themselves.
