I need to say up front that I don’t hate or dislike gay people. What they do in their private lives is none of my business. However, when an organization tries to convince me that an alternative lifestyle should be celebrated, I am not impressed. On Thursday, Fox News posted an article about some members of a professional baseball team who refused to celebrate the homosexual lifestyle.

The article reports:

A professional baseball team in Pennsylvania will be forfeiting a game Thursday that was scheduled to be the team’s Pride Night after players refused to wear LGBTQ-themed jerseys, the team announced.

The York Revolution of the Atlantic League, the same league in which Trevor Bauer plays, said the decision “was not reached lightly” in announcing the forfeit against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs Wednesday.

The team was not afraid to throw its players under the bus in a rather scathing statement, saying it was “deeply troubled and profoundly disappointed by the decisions of these few players.”

The players have every right to stand up for what they believe.

The article notes:

“To be clear, this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York,” the team’s statement continued.

The jerseys, which would have been worn on the team’s 11th annual Pride Night, had rainbow sleeves.

The team announced it would be making a $10,000 donation to the Rainbow Rose Center “as a small token of our regret for the last-minute change of plans and support for our LGBTQIA+ representing partners … to support and further their work in making sure the York community is as inclusive as we strive to make WellSpan Park in York, Pennsylvania.”

When is the league going to host ‘heterosexual pride day’?
