Professional Wrestler Mr. Grim Comes Out As Pansexual
The pro athlete rang in the new year by opening up about his sexuality on Twitter.
2021 may only be a few days old, but so far, so many notable people are taking the opportunity to proudly and publicly declare their truths, and we are absolutely, 100 percent here for it!
Such was the case with professional wrestler Chris Lewis — better known by his wrestling stage name Mr. Grim — who rang in the new year by taking to Twitter to share a heartfelt coming-out message, letting his followers know that he is pansexual.
\u201cFor years, I've struggled with my identity. Too worried about how others would feel or think about me. I've finally gained the courage to openly express that im Pansexual. Thank you @NylaRoseBeast for being my inspiration, supportive and holding my hand throughout this process.\u201d— #GrimAF (@#GrimAF) 1609527786
"For years, I've struggled with my identity, too worried about how others would feel or think about me," Lewis wrote in his tweet. "I've finally gained the courage to openly express that I'm pansexual."
After tweeting about being pan, Lewis received an outpouring of support from many fans, the likes of which include fellow wrestling pro Nyla Rose, who Lewis cited as one of his inspirations for coming out.
