Dana has the Warrior name, but she's not the Ultimate Warrior and no one seriously associates her or her children with that brand or gimmick. That belonged to her husband and he denigrated it through his own actions. If she wants to publically reframe that imagery with non-bigotry, I think it would be helpful for her to first publically acknowledge why it needs to be reframed. That's a pretty fair take, I think; if Warrior had a change of heart after a time, then Dana has every right to try and rehabilitate the worse aspects of his legacy. But given that Warrior himself never publicly declared his changed feelings, it would be nice for her to acknowledge that fact, something as simple as "I wish I had proof to offer you that he was a changed man, but I can only ask that you take me at my word", that kind of thing. As it stands, for many people the last they heard of Warrior he was rather vociferously vile about entire swaths of the population, so expecting people to feel alright with the use of his iconography for Pride month or for lionizing him without context for the purposes of making money off his image and off nostalgia really shouldn't be much of a shock. Again, I don't think anybody is saying this makes Dana a bad person, and her intentions may be completely pure, but erasing the negative associations with her husband's take on LGBT+ people isn't going to happen quickly, and certainly not because she personally uses the imagery. Feels like if a LGBT+ wrestler used it, and did it on their own volition (not because WWE wanted them to) and with Dana's support, it'd carry more weight.
