The Texas Rangers have sparked anger among LGBTQ+ groups by again refusing to host a Pride Night during the Major League Baseball season.
Texas stands alone among the 30 MLB teams but they responded to fury from campaigners by insisting that they are welcoming to all baseball fans.
In September 2003, however, two years after the Chicago Cubs hosted what is considered the first Pride game, the Rangers invited local LGBTQ+ groups to a game as part of a fundraising event.
Some Rangers fans expressed opposition and there were even some protests outside the stadium before the game.
DeeJay Johannessen - chief executive of the HELP Center, an LGBTQ+ organization based in Tarrant County, where the Rangers play - believes it is an 'embarrassment' for the area that Texas does not have a Pride Night.
'I'd love to meet with Mr. (Rangers majority owner Ray C.) Davis and talk about why it's important. But I don´t think that's on his priority list right now,' he said.
'I think that the issue here is not whether they are losing every game or whether they are World Series champions... it's a matter of whether or not having a Pride Night is something that the ownership of the Rangers is supportive of.

I’m sure if any gays want to attend a Rangers game, they won’t have any problems.
What more do they want?

Good for them!
I have several homosexual and lesbian friends. Never heard one of them use the word 'pride'. In fact, one friend once remarked to me "Do you think I chose to be like this?"

I remember when the gays first came out of their closets and said we just want to be left alone and not persecuted. Now it appears they have changed their minds and want to rule the world. Typical of evil. Just like abortion. At first it was to be rare and unusual. Now it’s thousands every day and Satan’s Army wants killing babies to be a Constitutional Right.

Romans 1:26-28
King James Version 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Romans 1:32
King James Version 32
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1%3A26-28%3B32&version=KJV ===========
Luke 17:28-32
King James Version
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.

The Issue is never the Issue.
The Left is using gays for their own purposes. When the Revolution comes, they’ll be first against the wall, as their services will no longer be needed.

Good for the Rangers. Hang tough.
Baseball should be about baseball, not participating in celebrating deviant sexual fetishes.
