Insanity is in vogue. Major League Baseball (MLB) wants each
and every team to abide by its Pride Month mandates. (Only one team, the Texas
Rangers has failed to do so this year.) Teams are supposed to host a “Pride
Night” during which the team’s players are supposed to don gaily colored Pride
apparel. As if that isn’t intrusive and tyrannical enough, MLB has now issued a
warning to three Christian San Francisco Giants pitchers who had the
unbridled temerity to inscribe a Biblical
passage, Genesis chapter 9, on their “Pride Night” ball caps last Friday.
Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, issued a
statement to LGBT sports site Outsports reading, “The writing on the cap
violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the
players about future violations.” Outsports subsequently published a
truly stupefyingly hypocritical and condescending commentary stating, “Three SF
Giants pitchers disgraced themselves at the team’s Pride Night, weaponizing the Pride rainbow and attacking the LGBTQ
community.”
The pitchers certainly didn’t disgrace themselves, but Major League
Baseball and Pat Courtney sure did. The Pride rainbow is already weaponized
against straight Christians. “Attacking the LGBTQ community” is too absurd and
outlandish a statement to warrant comment.
To be reprimanded for wearing a passage from Genesis, in tiny, barely
noticeable script on the obligatory LGBTQ-colored caps, not their team’s colors
and logos, “in honor” of folks who are overly and publicly proud of their own
particular sexual practices is beyond the pale. Talk about a fallen society.
The sheer, unmitigated arrogance! The coercion! The perversion! You must sport
garb that honors guys who like to put their d**ks into other guys anuses, and
those who are touting the fact they have sex with anyone and everyone, but a
Bible verse about the creation of human life is strictly verboten! Mindboggling—and
appalling—effrontery! Sports is supposed to be about entertainment and escape,
not indoctrination and adherence to The Narrative. It should be unifying, not
divisive.
Let’s put the incessant push for “Pride” observances in historical
perspective. What if the founders had said, “General Washington, when your
troops go to Yorktown, they must wear these pastel-colored hats in honor of
gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders?” Or if the United States Army Air
Force (USAAF) was informed that each aircraft would be required to sport an
LGBTQ flag on its fuselage when bombing the Third Reich?
The military is for defending the nation, not for demanding that
certain sexual proclivities are honored on a routine and structured basis, just
as sports is meant to entertain, not propagandize,
Leftists constantly assert that there is no state-sponsored religion
in the U.S. (even though they hate the nation). There should be no mandate to
honor divergent sexualities, either.
