Darren Young talks his character:

Darren Young says he does not mind that his character is not gay...

"I'm happy with Darren Young and where he stands in the company at present. Even though my character isn't gay, I'm still able to express myself in other ways like when I put my arms up into an equal sign. That's my signature pose and it symbolizes what Darren Young is all about. I'm here, and I do what I do to show everyone that we are all equal. Gay, straight, male, female, whatever your race, if you work hard and stay focused, you can make it to the big leagues! As a proud gay man in the WWE, I've always thought my success was entirely due to my skills as an entertainer and wrestler. It had nothing to do with my personal life. This said, I wouldn't mind if my character turned gay if it's for the sake of having an intriguing yet tasteful storyline, but I wouldn't do that switch if the reason is "just to have a gay character".
