WWE Superstars show their pride for Pride Month
Several WWE Superstars have taken to social media to don rainbow colors in honor of LGBT+ Pride Month.
June is the annual Pride Month, a month out of the year dedicated to celebrating the rights of LGBT+ communities all over the world. WWE is no stranger to supporting a good cause, even going so far as to turn their ring ropes pink for breast cancer awareness on occasion, and LGBT rights are no different.
The company has paid tribute to the community in the past, notably with Finn Balor's entrance at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans.
Now, however, several WWE Superstars have taken to Twitter to share their support for their LGBT+ friends, relatives, and peers. Some WWE stars who are members of the community themselves have also commented on the importance of Pride Month to them. Sonya Deville, for example, participated in the LA Pride Parade.
WWE Superstar @SonyaDevilleWWE was all smiles at the LA Pride Parade.

WWE even released new merchandise for Pride Month
WWE got into the charitable spirit by releasing a line of new merch for the month.
As part of their WWE Together campaign, which is a campaign in support of rights for non-cis peoples, WWE released clothing sporting their logo with the word "together" underneath in a rainbow font.
