Instagram posts were filled with disgusting comments. Banners were brought out by certain ultra groups. Captains of teams refused to wear a rainbow on their shirt.
But we live in a progressive country, guys.

Something similar happened with my favorite baseball team. They had a pride night event but for some reason they decided to let players opt in to the event. This allowed 5 players to not wear hats with rainbow colors, to show how Christian they are, as they put it. It was a disgrace. The Tampa Bay Rays pride night dates back to the shooting in Orlando and so seeing players not “opt in” to pride felt like a way of disrespecting victims as well as the fans that showed up to watch baseball and feel welcomed. It’s such a disgrace.
Why can’t we have this one thing?? Even if it is cynical for enterprises to rainbow wash things, can we at least do it without concern trolling about if Jesus freaks are offended? They can come still celebrate memorial day with Boeing and applaud US death priests so let queer folk have one goddamned day without libertarian freeze peach bullshit!!
