The Straight Truth About ProtestGayDay.com
& “TEXAS RANGERS TO HOLD GAY DAY”
At The Ballpark In Arlington.
Words In Quotations Taken From The Gay & Lesbian Newspaper Article

Mike Cramer, who is the President of Operations with the Texas Rangers organization, has repeatedly refused to address the article in the Dallas Voice Newspaper stating, “Gay Day at the Ballpark will be the first time a major professional athletic team has reached out to the gay community and offered to help organize such an event.” Instead, he insinuates that the Rangers did not have their salesperson personally contact the homosexual groups. On the contrary, Gil Flores maintains: “A sales representative who helped organize last year’s Gay Day for the Dallas Burn, the city’s major league soccer team, now works for the Rangers and brought the idea for Gay Day at the Ballpark with him, according to Gil Flores, services director for the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Community Center.” It appears that the Texas Rangers Organization is just spinning the truth to downplay their involvement. The Bible calls that a lie, and so do we at ProtestGayDay.com.

The Rangers (Mike Cramer) says that Gay Day does not exist. IF this is true, then WHY haven't the Rangers asked the Dallas Voice to retract their announcement of this event? Why haven't the Ranger's "gone after" the DV for publishing a bunch of lies? There's been no retraction, and to my knowledge no demand for any retraction? Mike Cramer stated on The Wilder Show that the Rangers did not have the time to go after every group that prints false information about the Rangers. As KCBI 90.9 FM stated in the news, “the Texas Rangers got more than what they bargained for." For the sake of loyal Texas Rangers fans and families, the Rangers should have taken the time to stop this homosexual propaganda. It would have taken one phone call. I asked Mike Cramer to have the Dallas Voice retract their statements 4 weeks ago. I informed him that if they did not make the Dallas Voice retract their statements, then ProtestGayDay.com would be obligated to let the people know.

We are receiving a lot of emails about us protesting the Rangers. I need to be clear about what we are doing. We are protesting both the homosexuals and the Texas Rangers. We are protesting the homosexuals for using a family institution such as baseball, the Texas Rangers and our Ballpark in Arlington to legitimize their perverted lifestyles. The homosexuals ARE NOT simply going out to watch a baseball game with their buddies. They are going to push their perverted homosexual agendas in an effort to gain some sort of normalcy to their kind. They want you and your children to see them and accept them as normal. God did not make man to have sex with another man, nor a woman with another woman. It is not normal. It will never be normal. To think that it is natural is insanity. God obviously made man's anatomy for the purpose of reproduction. We promote salvation and deliverance for the homosexuals. Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for all of our sins. They can be saved just like we got saved. Deliverance is going to be more of a challenge for a homosexual though. We will help you through the trials ahead. It's never easy going back up the mountain once you have fallen, but with help from brothers and sisters in Christ, it is much more bearable. Our purpose is to bring “Gay Day” to the attention of families so that they can be informed and be able to make the decision that they feel is in the best interest of their children and families. They also need to know the truth about how the Rangers contacted and negotiated the sale of tickets with the homosexuals. They may have convictions to not ever go to a game at the Ballpark again. We also have a petition on our website that people are signing to have their voices heard and morals to be known. We are protesting to make a stand for righteousness. People all across America and around the world need to know that there are decent moral people still in the United States that are willing to make sacrifices to protect and preserve our children and families.

Lastly, we are protesting the Texas Rangers Organization to hold them accountable. They should just admit the truth. They had their sales representative contact and negotiate the sale of tickets to the homosexuals just like he did before with the Dallas Burn.The Texas Rangers have a responsibility as a sports team, which children look towards as role models, to act on the behalf of and in the best interest of their fans. This event legitimizes the perverted Gay & Lesbian lifestyle in the eyes of the unsuspecting, innocent child. Homosexuals are still very much a minority group and families will not sit back and let them take over our communities. The Texas Rangers should be ashamed. They are the ones who contacted Gil Flores, who is the services director for the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Community Center. The Texas Rangers reached out to the homosexual community in hope of getting some extra ticket sales. That's the bottom line and they are therefore responsible for legitimizing the homosexuals in the eyes of our children.

2 Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Thank you for your support of families,

Rick Warden

Note: "GAY DAY" At Six Flags (Arlington, TX) is September 20th, 2003

You are the one judging unrighteous judgement. You assume and have no facts, evidence or proof that I do not "feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the jailed." I have been in charge of neighborhood visitation and outreach evangelism at my church for 10 years. At my own expense I have feed many hundreds of people and given my own home for shelter to many. I spent 6 years visiting the elderly every week at Arlington Villa. I spent two years volunteering and ministering to the homeless at the Ruff House in Dallas. I fed and ministered to the homeless of Dallas for a year with several ministries and churches. I lead the evangelism team for Big Heart ministries one year in Downtown Dallas. I have spent hundreds maybe a thousand of hours counseling with brothers and sisters in Christ and ministering to their needs as well as the unsaved. I also have spent many hundreds of hours in business meetings for my church. I have never been paid a dime for my services. To the contrary I give of the money that God gives me through hard labor.

It is clearly you that has judged me unrighteous judgement.

I judge and discern according to the wisdom of the Holy Bible that you should have read more. Sodomy is an abomination to my God. That means he hates it. He hated it enough to destroy an entire city. He gives that to us as an example that he will judge and destroy us in this day if we as a people or nation are given to the sin of sodom. Notice in the verse just before the Bible says "God gave them up unto vile affections" & "God gave them over to a reprobate mind" Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator... this is exactly what is going on today. You have judged me to hate the homosexuals when actually I'm showing them the love of Jesus Christ, in the most gentlemen like manner possible under the circumstances, while remaining firm about the truth. We are commanded to preach the law ( Romans 3:20). Without the law I would have never of known that I was a sinner in need of the savior Jesus Christ. Only once someone recognizes their sin and that they are a sinner will they be able to be saved by the grace of God. So we preach against sin and about the loving grace of Jesus Christ. Hate is not in there anywhere.

I encourage you, if you are a born again Christian, to repent of your sins. Quit calling evil good and good evil. Isa 5:20. I question any person that spends more time watching sports, television, movies and music more than serving God and so does the God of the Bible just before gives them up unto vile affections & gives them over to a reprobate mind

In Christ Love,

Rick Warden

You have judged me to hate the homosexuals when actually I'm showing them the love of Jesus Christ, in the most gentlemen like manner possible under the circumstances, while remaining firm about the truth.

There are a lot of sincere Christians, including myself, who aren't quite sure that you acted in the "most gentleman like manner possible." For example, your web site still says:

"Instead, [Ranger CEO Mike Cramer] insinuates that the Rangers did not have their salesperson personally contact the homosexual groups. ... The Bible calls that a lie, and so do we at ProtestGayDay.com."

Yet, Ranger CEO Mike Cramer on the Scott Wilder show had this to say about you:

"In the first conversation I ever had with [Rick Warden], and in scores of emails that I’ve sent around to people, we have acknowledged that one of our ticket representatives contacted this group as well as hundreds, probably thousands, of other groups in the spring—and in April."

Somebody ain't telling the truth here.
You talk so high and mighty about the about truth, accuse me of "judging unrighteous judgment" (whatever that is), ask me to "repent of my sins" and "quit calling evil good and good evil," yet you continue to have this blatant lie on your website! And you still wonder why Scott Wilder and so many others of us question your motives and your actions?

I judge and discern according to the wisdom of the Holy Bible that you should have read more.

I read your website, heard you on the Scott Wilder show, and read and re-read the transcript of the show to make sure that I heard what I thought I heard. You've done a lot of truth-stretching throughout the whole affair.
If you're so concerned about the gay newspaper and the Texas Rangers telling the truth, perhaps you should start with revising your own website.

ProtestGayDay.com declares victory
Group goes after Texas Rangers, demonstrates at Six Flags

Fresh off what he considers a major victory in a fight against "Gay Day" at the Ballpark in Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers, the head of ProtestGayDay.com has organized a demonstration today at Six Flags over Texas in Dallas.

According to a statement from organizer Rick Warden, supporters will be protesting the theme park's sixth annual "Gay Day" beginning at 9:30 a.m. local time.

On Sunday, ProtestGayDay.com declared victory in its protest of what had been billed, at least in some publications, as a "Gay Day" at the Ballpark in Arlington. The group claims due to pressure applied via the media, only 200 tickets were purchased by homosexuals for Sunday's baseball game.

"We praise God that through the media we were able to detour the homosexuals from buying the tickets and therefore also from being recognized in front of thousands of families and nation wide television," said the group's website.

ProtestGayDay.com says 2,200 signatures were gathered on a petition in protest of what it says were plans to recognize homosexuals at the game.

The site also rebuts statements from Rangers officials that the team had not planned for an official "Gay Day":

"Mike Cramer, who is the president of operations with the Texas Rangers organization, has repeatedly refused to address the article in the Dallas Voice newspaper (a homosexual publication) stating, 'Gay Day at the Ballpark will be the first time a major professional athletic team has reached out to the gay community and offered to help organize such an event.'"

The group called on the Rangers to hold the paper accountable if the quote attributed to Cramer were untrue.

ProtestGayDay.com sent an e-mail to Cramer referencing the Six Flags protest:

"'Gay Day' at Six Flags Over Texas is Saturday 9-20-03. These people are counting on the fact that we Christians are too busy entertaining ourselves to stand up to them and do anything about having 'Gay Day.' Until now they've been right in their assumption. We Christians have had a great awakening. We repent of our sins. We are committed to Jesus Christ to stand and be active."

The group formed specifically to protest the Rangers' "Gay Day." In its mission statement, it states: "The Texas Rangers have a responsibility as a sports team, that children look toward as role models, to act on the behalf of and in the best interest of their fans. This event legitimizes the perverted homosexual lifestyle in the eyes of the unsuspecting innocent child. Homosexual [sic] are still very much a minority group and families will not sit back and let them take over our communities. The Texas Rangers should be ashamed."

Besides today's protest, the organization is battling a plan by Dallas-Forth Worth area Starbucks to donate funds to a "gay pride" parade scheduled for tomorrow, encouraging members to protest outside the coffee houses.

Texas Rangers ‘Gay Day’ a Bust 9/17/2003
By Martha Kleder
Christian protesters outnumber homosexual attendees at The Ballpark.
The 8 by 4 foot neon green sign outside the Texas Rangers’ Arlington stadium near Dallas on Sunday night proclaimed the outcome: “Christians 300, ‘Gays’ 200, Jesus wins.”
That was the final score as Christians rallied outside the stadium in protest of what was billed in the media as “Gay Day at The Ballpark.”
Those 300 protesters included members from two local churches on hand to pray and witness and 100 who bused in from Heritage Baptist Church in Mount Enterprise, Texas, 180 miles away.
Despite claims from the Resource Center of Dallas that they would draw 1,000 homosexual baseball fans to Sunday night’s game, the group was able to sell only 200 tickets for the special roped-off section.
“This is a victory,” Rick Warden told CWA's Culture and Family Institute. “This was a larger victory than simply protesters outnumbering homosexuals.” Warden heads www.protestgayday.com, an organization formed to speak out against the tide of homosexual acceptance.
“This victory included winning the battle in the media for the attention of Christians who have grown complacent. It included persuading two couples attending with children in tow to skip the game and join the protest,” he said.
“Three young men were led to Christ, and another couple of men who were headed to the game decided to stay away that night because of the promotion of homosexuality scheduled for that night,” Warden added.
”You have caught the attention of people across the nation”
“But aside from the three who accepted Christ, the best news of the night was an e-mail that was waiting for me when I returned home,” he said. The e-mail, which came from the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, reads in part:
“Thank you for your example of courage, conviction, and love. After the event in Arlington this evening, do not let the energy and momentum fade. You have caught the attention of people across the nation, and you have begun to unite Christians like myself who are waiting for an opportunity to come to the front lines of battle, to proclaim the saving grace of Jesus Christ.”
The battle over ‘Gay Day’ is not over for Warden. This coming weekend, Six Flags Over Texas will hold its annual ‘Gay Day,’ and the Dallas area will hold its 20th annual “Gay Pride” Parade; now renamed “The Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade.”
Warden says that he and several supporters will be on hand to protest the homosexual event at Six Flags.
It apparently started with a sales rep
Meanwhile, there has been much controversy over how the Texas Rangers “Gay Day” came into being. It appears to have boiled down to a new salesman who had previous dealings with homosexual groups.
“A sales representative who helped organize last year’s Gay Day for the Dallas Burn, the city’s major league soccer team, now works for the Rangers and brought the idea for Gay Day at The Ballpark with him,” Gil Flores, services director for the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Community Center, told The Dallas Voice, the regional homosexual newspaper. The Rangers acknowledge that their representative made the outreach, but they say that it was a routine matter.
Rangers owner Mike Cramer has denied in numerous interviews that “Gay Day at The BallPark” exists. He noted that the Rangers simply sold a block of tickets to the homosexual group, just as they have sold tickets to other groups, including some with religious affiliations.
“The Rangers could have nixed this block sale if they wanted,” said Robert H. Knight, director of CWA’s Culture and Family Institute. “Their explanation that they offer this to anybody and everybody does not wash. Any group promoting sexual perversity should be considered beyond the pale. And comparing sales to religious groups is an insult. You mean they can’t tell the difference between, say, the First Baptist Church and a group that promotes homosexual sodomy?
“We believe the Rangers, as a private organization, have the right to make this offer, but we also believe that Mr. Warden and his supporters are within their rights to call it to the public’s attention and to let Ranger fans decide whether it’s fine for their team to tacitly promote homosexuality,” Knight said.
Not as bad as Philly
“Gay Day” at the Arlington stadium is a far cry from the blatant promotion of homosexuality at a recent Philadelphia Phillies game. There, homosexual groups were welcomed on the scoreboard, the leader of the homosexual group threw out the first pitch, and homosexuals brought banners and cavorted during the game.
By contrast, the Rangers held no field activities or official acknowledgements during the September 14th game against Oakland.
“Watching this controversy unfold, I think the Rangers hit a foul ball,” Knight said. “If there truly was no ‘Gay Day’ at Arlington, why didn’t the team’s front office call for the homosexual press to correct this impression?
“Like many Americans today, they seem unnecessarily fearful of offending the homosexual lobby. Texas is legendary for its people’s courage. In fact, Texans are quite fond of the phrase, “one riot, one ranger,” referring to the grit of the Texas Rangers lawmen.
“Texas is home to the Alamo. Would Davey Crockett and the other defenders of the Alamo identify today with Rick Warden, or with the ‘gays’ who made their sexuality everybody’s business at The Ballpark?”

Note From Rick Warden To DallasMike, sinkspur & All Other Scoffers: ENOUGH SAID!

From the WorldNet Daily article:

"The group called on the Rangers to hold the paper accountable if the quote attributed to Cramer were untrue."

The article then goes on to say, in a quote taken directly from your website (emphasis added):

"Mike Cramer, who is the President of Operations with the Texas Rangers organization, has repeatedly refused to address the article in the Dallas Voice Newspaper stating, “Gay Day at the Ballpark will be the first time a major professional athletic team has reached out to the gay community and offered to help organize such an event.”

I heard Mike Cramer live on the Scott Wilder address the article (he did the same thing on WBAP, I understand), and the transcript of the Wilder Show interview can be found here where he says

"[The Dallas Voice] know[s] [the article is] incorrect and they should correct it."

Cramer publicly called on the Dallas Voice to correct the article. Yet you maintain on your website that the Rangers still refuse to address the Dallas Voice article or call upon the paper to correct itself. Why is your lie still on your website? Don't you have the same duty to correct your website as the Dallas Voice has to correct their article?

I could also ding you for your sentence structure on your website, which makes it appear at first blush that Mike Cramer made the quote, but I'll let that one go even though I suspect it was fully intentional on your part.

Further, Mr. Cramer said the following in his Scott Wilder interview:

Mr. Warden has a “quote” from me that says that the Rangers have consistently denied that one of our representatives contacted this group. Mr. Warden knows that that’s not true. ...

"In the first conversation I ever had with [Rick Warden], and in scores of emails that I’ve sent around to people, we have acknowledged that one of our ticket representatives contacted this group as well as hundreds, probably thousands, of other groups in the spring—and in April."

So why do keep on telling lies about the Texas Rangers? Why do you call me a scoffer and ask me to "repent of my sins" when you're the one who is slandering others in your website? Is slandering wrong or does your Bible say something different from mine?

Funny how you want the Rangers to hold the gay paper accountable for the lies they told in their paper but are glad that the Rangers don't hold you accountable for the lies you tell in your website. It looks like you've misled WorldNet Daily and Concerned Women for America, too.

Care to address this issue or do you wish to call me names again? When you "judge and discern according to the wisdom of the Holy Bible that [I] should have read more," does it say anything about how you ought to tell the truth more?

The truth hurts like hell, doesn't it, Rick?

The Dallas Voice Gay & Lesbian newspaper and Qtexas homosexual magazine are sponsoring "Gay Day @ Six Flags". I'm sorry if you really feel you have the need for me to help you read between the lines on this one.
As a business that services mostly families, Six Flags should not ALLOW the gay and lesbian publications to advertise and write articles saying that they are having "Gay Day". It is one thing if there are homosexual people going to six flags and entirely another if thousands are going because it is being advertised in the gay and lesbian newspapers as "Gay Day". I went bowling this evening with my family. In the lane next to us was a group of 3 men and 5 women that did not hide their homosexuality. They did not have to advertise it as being "Gay Day" at the bowling alley in order to go bowling. If they had advertised it as "Gay Day" WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE BOWLING ALLEY THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SUED FOR LIABLE. Six Flags, The Texas Rangers, The State Fair Of Texas and Hurricane Harbor all give the homosexuals permission to advertise a special day as "Gay Day" as they sell them discounted group tickets.
Six Flags is NOT under any legal obligation to sell group tickets to the homosexuals or any other group. If NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) wanted to buy group tickets and advertise it as "North American Man/Boy Love Day" Six Flags would discriminately say no. That is perfectly within their right to do so.
Six Flags, The Texas Rangers, The State Fair Of Texas and Hurricane Harbor are all guilty by association. All they have to do is tell the homosexuals that they cannot call any day a "Gay Day" in their publications. If they did anyway Six Flags could sue the homosexual papers for misrepresentation and slander.
At the very least Six Flags, The Texas Rangers, The State Fair Of Texas and Hurricane Harbor all have a responsibility to tell their customers and make them aware of the "Gay Day" that they have allowed to be advertised.
