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

Note: "GAY DAY" At Six Flags (Arlington, TX) is September 20th, 2003
I must have missed something. What is this about? Is some group pushing for Gay Day at the Ball Park in Arlington?Yeah ! And in fact, the Ballpark in Arlington is promoting it apparently ...
Sign the petition (if you wish) linked in my ping there and in the article itself ...
No, it isn't. Please see post #15 -- this has been rehashed on several local conservative radio shows over the past few weeks. There is no "Gay Day" at a Texas Rangers game." Apparently a group of gays want to go, based upon a column in the Dallas Voice (a local gay magazine), which is their perfect right. It's no different than a bus filled with employees from LargeCo Corp. or the local Baptist church going to the game. The Texas Rangers organization has nothing to do with the supposed "Gay Day" and is not checking people's sexual orientation when they sell tickets.IMHO, protesting would be a very unwise thing. Let them go to the game. After all, there are probably just as many gays at every Texas Rangers game.
Note that this does not make me pro-gay. It's a lifestyle that I find abhorrent. I worked in Oak Lawn for 6 years and it's a horrible way of life that very few of them want to be in. Most are the victims of either (1) childhood molestation (ever wonder why so many gays are good-looking men? -- it's because they were good-looking children); or (2) a real or perceived absence from their father during childhood. Protesting a hundred or so of them going to a baseball game is going to backfire publicity-wise and is not going to get them to change their ways.
Somebody needs to tell Rick that the only thing worse than a homo is a liar.
Also see this transcript between local Christian radio host, Scott Wilder and Rick Warden and another between Scott and Rangers Manager Mike Cramer. Unfortunately, Warden comes out looking like a fool. He's misrepresenting the situation which is not a thing that a Christian should do.
We should drop the petition and drop the protests.
You can go here to the promotions page to see that the Texas Rangers are not promoting a "Gay Day."As for the press release, there is no reason for the Texas Rangers to issue one any more than they would issue a press release endorsing or not endorsing a group of Boy Scouts or company employees going to the game. Please read Scott Wilder's interview with Rick Warden and with Mike Cramer that I posted earlier. Cramer, who is president and CEO of the Rangers, said on air regarding the supposed "Gay Day":
"No. Never has been and nothing is scheduled. There’s nothing sponsored, endorsed or supported by the Rangers. ... [T]heir ticket purchase by this group is probably in its simplest form. There’s no strings, no perks. It’s a purchase of group tickets that day. ... This is a non-issue to us. ... I’m just disappointed that Mr. Warden and these other folks, who have sent emails without calling us, without asking, without writing, have simply assumed that we’re having this so-called Gay Day at the ball park. Mr. Warden knows that’s not true. He said that to you just a few minutes ago on the phone. But what I thought was interesting, as he was signing off, he asked you to please go to gayday.com and sign the petition. Well, there shouldn’t be a protestgayday.com because there is no Gay Day at the Ball Park."This is a non-issue and no one here should give Rick Warden the time of day because he is misrepresenting the situation. He's simply lying and that's not something a Christian should do in a normal situation, no matter how noble the ends.
Texas RIM Rangers?
And various other entertaining uses of base ball bats will be offered to the young sports fans.
And who needs a mitt to catch a ball? See the provocitive methods of ball catching using various bodily orifices!
Cum one, cum all, and join the fun at GayDay.
(Antibiotics not included in this sports package. Please remember to pack your own.)
And as a special treat...the players will adjust each other's cups...
Based on the documentation you posted, I agree. Thanks for the information.
In another era your statement would be closer to the truth than in today's world. However, the Clinton Administration taught us all about the floating the trial balloon method for getting ones message out without having it to come back to bite you in the backside (no pun intended) or stink up your neck of the woods should it prove to be a dud and tank like a lead balloon. Clinton was so good that.
By not admitting to nor denying of a rumor the organization basically gets a free ride in the press and in the public arena of ideas. By using cut-outs to deliver your message you can then take credit if the message goes over or you can deny the message as not being yours nor true since "we didn't tell you about it ourselves". Informed people of today aren't that stupid or dense anymore after the Bill Clinton era.
So, until I see a written repudiation in a major publication then I for one will take the position that the item in question was probably indeed a product of someone connected with the Texas Rangers. You know, if there was a rumor circulating that the owner of the Rangers team was considering selling the team to a Red Chinese communist and it wasn't true I rather suspect that we'd hear all kinds of denials in every public venue they could get to listen to them denying the rumors.
But you know, you could be entirely right but I'll remain highly skeptical until proven wrong as I suspect others will do. Good try though but no cigar.
Did you read my links? You have been proven wrong.Did you see "Gay Day" promoted on the Texas Rangers website? No.
Did you read Rangers' CEO Mike Cramer's comments and Rick Warden's comments on a top-rated radio show here in Dallas? Rick Warden says that "Texas Rangers to Hold Gay Day." What part of that is true? None of it.
Rick Warden goes on in the interview to say that "the Texas Rangers have made it very clear from the beginning that they are not holding a Gay Day." He is engaging in deception under the guise of Christianity. Why do you want to listen to him?
I am entirely right and you need to believe the truth, not a lie -- no matter how supposedly good the motives are for telling that lie.
Well, it's best to boycott anything with a GayDay, no matter what. Gays have no respect for family values. Might better keep your kids safe at home.
In other words, just another day at the office for the on-field talent.
