-Sirius/XM's Howard Stern discussed Darren Young become the first active member of the WWE roster to announce that he is gay during his show on Monday. Dot Net reader Josh Kostab reports: "It was very brief but he mentioned Darren coming out then proceeded to make the usual jokes, such as what a shock it is that a guy who wears underwear and body oil that rolls around with other naked men is gay. He then said something about Darren being very happy but his parents are disappointed. Not disappointed that he's gay, but disappointed he 'pretends' to wrestle."
