Gay professional wrestling

The QWI closes with the top 20 out LGBTQ professional wrestlers, and the reveal of the pick for No. 1. Hunter Gallagher is shaking up the wrestling world with his perfect blend of flair and skill. We love wrestling, but we especially love queer wrestlers!

From his theatrical antics and dynamic dance moves to his over-the-top facial expressions right before slamming an opponent into the ring, every moment is pure, chaotic satisfaction! His performances are a whirlwind of fun, silliness, and sheer thrill.

It was kind of dope to see a feminine identity on my television screen. Wrestling has always had a bit of camp, but Gallagher takes it to the next level, making every performance unforgettable for fans who love a mix of drama and talent. With all the flips, kicks, and turns how does Hunter even manage to keep his hair and his abs looking tight and fabulous at all times and how exactly did Hunter get into the usually hypermasculine sport?
