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.

Well dj, It’s an embarrassment that this COUNTRY even recognizes the pride freaks.
If they are forced to have a pride night, spell LGBTQ+ as LGBtq+ to call out “Lets Go Brandon”.
These people need to be committed into a mental institution.
There are some truly bizarre pictures out there
America and the world needs to see what these people
are trying to bring into something like Disney and baseball
It’s a rude awakening no doubt - I’m trying to
slap the world in the face and say “WAKE UP!!”
BUMP to the Rangers thread
I met a couple of them over the years
Stand your ground, Texas Rangers! We appreciate you!
