‘Pride’ Night at the Old Ballpark

[SassyIrishLass]

Sporting events have all sorts of promotions to expand attendance. Watch the game.

Really? When was the last time they celebrated normal heterosexual people?

Your ignorance is outstanding. I clearly stated that sporting events have all sorts of promotions. I didn't not say they have had a promotion for everything and anything you could image promoting.

All the same there have been "family nights" at the ballparks for years.

How about a Str8 night?

Lmao the left's heads would spin and explode

You know it and I know it

Major League Baseball teams have been celebrating “Pride Month” via Pride Nights at ballparks across the Majors. June is Pride Month, in case you’ve missed the hype. Outdoing itself, the MLB is partying “all season long.” One wonders why there needs to be a month of any celebration. Should October be refashioned as “Halloween Month?” Is there an “Irish Month,” which St. Patrick’s Day is the capstone? And why limit Groundhog Day to a day?

Yet gay pride is now LGBTQ+ (the plus is currently optional) pride because being homosexual isn’t enough. Every sexual variant not heterosexual and practiced by a tiny minority of people is to be granted a month’s worth of recognition and celebration. The Grand Old Game has no reprieve from being rainbowed.

Advertises the Phillies for their Pride Night:

The Phillies invite you to celebrate Philadelphia's rich LGBTQ culture at our fifth annual Pride Night presented by the GIANT company at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday, August 25 at 7:05 p.m. when the Phillies host the Tampa Bay Rays.
All members of the LGBTQ community, as well as family, friends and organizations are invited to come out and show their pride at this event.
The first 1,000 fans to purchase tickets for this event will receive a coupon for an exclusive Phillies Pride Night cap

Just a thousand caps are being given away. That’s a paltry sum, which hints at what a small draw this event is.

And please cite examples of “rich LGBTQ culture?” What exactly is LGBTQ culture? Is there LGBTQ cuisine? If it exists, does it rival, oh, Cuban cuisine? Don’t cite a guy like Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, as a cultural icon.

When is “Psychotic Homeless” month?
Lets celebrate as much untreated mental illness as possible.
I’m sure attendance will increase with psych-homeless given free attendance and light meal.
Hold the free beer to only 3 by the 7th inning.
They will be complacent, right?

No worries folks. This will go away. It is a fad.(sarc.) The other day I heard about a trans couple getting married. They were pre-op male-to-female and pre-op female-to-male. They will be calling that traditional marriage soon.

I have no problem with "pride" month or whatever. It's freedom they are supporting, so I have no complaints.

Austin Petersen's ideal:

"Gay married couple defends pot farm with machine guns."

Doesn't know the difference between morals and freedom....so sad!

I'll take the gays over trump and his family any day of the week, pride or not.

No doubt. Bendover

How dare gay people show any affection in public! That's only for straight folks!

theyll soon be demanding the right to preform oral sex on each other in public ...

I know, right? Save that shit for Madri Gras, Spring Break, and/or Bike Week in Daytona!

 

[mdk]

Everybody in PNC Park could start blowing each other and they still wouldn’t suck as much as the Pirates. lol

Hey- that's what closets are for!

 

[Resnic]

So what month is straight pride month?

I wish we could just stop this preposterous pandering to sexual groups. No one deserves any special attention or treatment based purely on what genetials you like to run yours on.

To me there are 3 groups of people. People I like because they show common decency towards me, people I don't like because they don't show common decency towards me, and people I don't know. There are over 7 billion people in the world, I don't give a shit about dicing them up into little groups.

Anyone who does pride shit is an attention whore, or a pandering idiot trying to cash in. Lgbtqekadf+++++ or whatever aren't special or different, they are just people who should be treated base on who they are as a person and not some stupid idea like their sexuality.

In a really fair and equal world there would be no pride day.

My grandfather loved the game....if he were alive today he'd be disgusted

Gays thrive on attention. Then they get it and bawl

Does this somehow affect you? Does it make your house worth less? Does it increase your electricity bill? If not, why do you care?

That's a weak retort.

My owning a gun threatens no one, yet there are countless people who, if they had their way, would not allow me to own a gun. It doesn't make their house worth less, nor does it increase their electricity bill, but that doesn't seem to matter...

And I would ask them the same question. Does you owning a gun affect me? No. So do you think it's OK for people to get upset over something that doesn't affect them?

My point (that thing that sailed effortlessly over your head) is that people do get upset.

I've never, ever felt the need to publicly proclaim my heterosexuality. Why does the LBGTQLMNOP community believe they have to?

How does that affect you? I do not like answering a question with a question BUT my original question has never been answered.

How accepting do you think the gay community would be to heterosexuals demanding a "straight pride month" and "straight pride" parades. They'd lose their shit over that and you know it. They would say it diminishes gay pride and their desire for equality.

Which is silly, because if they wanted equality, they'd have no problem with "straight pride month".

My opinion and argument is based on the belief that what we need is equality. Equality, though, is kicked to the curb once one group gets something the other doesn't have.

Gays aren't special, and they shouldn't be treated as though they are...

Start one and find out.

If gay advocates hadn't demanded attention we would still be discriminating against them. Women had to march to get voting rights. We still have woman's day at the old ball park.

It's been tried, and gays lost their fucking minds...

The distraction of Straight Pride, as explained by LGBTQ activists and historians

Well the article notes that most people were just confused but march away.

The gay community was up in arms over the very thought of a straight pride parade...

Just as people are when they parade and my position remains the same.

Alright now... I draw the line at public peepee puffin.

Actually- If it's overly passionate, I don't love public displays of affection by anyone. One time at the races, the couple in front of us looked to be actors in a weird redneck porno flick. They had their tongues so far down each others throats I believe they were in danger of choking and gagging.

I know I was.

Holy crap. Don't you have some legos or a sandbox or something to keep your stupid ass busy?

 

[Polishprince]

MLB needs to make the players wear heels and carry purses during Gay Month, and encourage them to "goose" each other at home plate or when holding the other team to first base.

Make the game truly LGBTQ friendly

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Does this somehow affect you? Does it make your house worth less? Does it increase your electricity bill? If not, why do you care?

Perhaps, it's because I don't give a fetid dingo's kidney about someone else's sexual orientation (unless I'm planning to woo them) and because if I go to see a baseball game, or any other professional sporting event, I'm there to see people hit, catch, and throw the ball. I'm sure there have to a a FEW things that don't have to involve a political agenda.

Can't we just watch the game?

Sporting events have all sorts of promotions to expand attendance. Watch the game.

I wouldnt go to a sporting event that dignified homo's.
You you may get tagged as a homo along with the rest of the fruit cakes.

One of my wife's co workers went to California and took her kids to Disneyland,not knowing it was gay day at the park.
She said it was disgusting,they were hanging all over each other and playing grabass.
They left shortly after arriving it was so bad.

I figure it'll drop attendance.
Most normal people dont want to be around homos and there's not enough homos who like baseball.

I'd agree with you over the grab ass in front of kids, but it's not limited to the gays. I'd agree its over the top at "The World" from what I've heard, and I've avoided that with the kid because other times its a pretty family event. But if you haven't been to a Philly sporting event ... they are not for the timid. LOL And avoid the Flyers at all costs if you are squeemish. Don't wear out of town colors to an Eagles game. Ever.

Most normal people dont want to be around homos and there's not enough homos who like baseball.

Those who own the teams apparently disagree, and they are the ones with skin in the game.

Perhaps they hope to attract more attention from the growing LGBTQ sports community and figure there is a lot more potential there?

LGBTQ people like football already, and their move this week to hire a gay player in Vegas proves it. There may well be potential, if you'll remember the Men on Football program?
