I wish that I didn't disagree with you, but Donald Widemon would do better to focus his efforts elsewhere. This one is a lose-lose situation.

Yep. Remember when the Rangers sold a block of tickets to some gay group last summer, and the gay group began to advertise that they were going to the game as a group?

Well, an evangelical pastor decided he was going to protest the Rangers and blame the Rangers for sponsoring a "gay day."

The Rangers were sponsoring nothing; they just sold 50 tickets to somebody.

The pastor ranted and raved on Mark Davis' show on 820 and begged and pleaded for people to come out and protest the presence of gay people sitting together at a baseball game.

Well, when the day came, the gays went to the ballgame and six protesters showed up.

Yes, I do. You and I both took it on the chin on that thread.

Yes, and the pastor was dishonest, too (here and here). Not exactly a good witness.

ARRGH, not this again. Someone in the Rangers organization SOUGHT THEM OUT and combined groups for a bulk discount. The Rangers DID have a hand in it.
