re: Minor League Baseball team cancels Pride Night after players refuse to wear jerseys

What about military night? What about Star Wars night?

Because they’re not cancelling the game if someone doesn’t want to wear the Star Wars jersey and I’m pretty sure Star Wars doesn’t go against anyone’s religion.

quote:

---

Sooo, why have the special night?

---

Because people support faith and family.

The problem is not having special nights. The problem is having special nights for themes that people, at most, passively tolerate, but generally view as grotesque perversion.

Why is that funny?

Let me guess, you love lesbian porn?

Who loves porn of any kind? I can understand why people are drawn to porn, lesbian and gay porn included, but I also understand that it shouldn't be celebrated.

What should be celebrated are values like faith and family.

Certainly not the real kind. Two purple haired butch women isn’t going to get the clicks.

quote:

They’ll stop having Pride nights when gay and trans people aren’t being killed for being gay and trans.

frick, I was worried you were going to say that this will last just as long as trannies are killing people. Cuz it looks like that ain't ever happening.

The average attendance is 3100 per game. It's safe to assume that because it's independent ball, they have zero fans outside of those at the games, and honestly they probably have fewer actual fans than the number of people that show up for various promotions, etc.

The worldwide population that identifies as gay is about 3%.

So this Independent League team held an event to celebrate 93 people.

It's worse (lower) than that. It doesn't matter if you take for granted that the "queer" population is 3%, 6%, or 12%. The percentages won't ever hold true across all demographic boards, like for instance "baseball fans."

Take theater kids, for example. There isn't much wrong with that as a pastime through high school. Would you tell me the guys who make it onto Broadway as stage dancers are only 3% (or 6%, or 12%) gay? It's obviously much higher, and pretty obviously a big majority.

I know a couple male nurses who see good money in helping people, don't want to spend tons of time and tuition money on full-out med school, yet straight as an arrow. I'd still guess that this stereotypically-female profession has a much higher proportion of gays than society on average.

Have you even ever heard of a male pre-school teacher? No men want to do that job. They're not as natural at it as females, but we don't assume that 50% should be men. There are plenty of male- and female-coded jobs: court stenographer (female), logger (male), secretary (female),

When AIDS hit the gay community hard in the 80s, almost zero pro athletes started dropping. You can infer that there were almost zero in that space. (I have my suspicions about Magic Johnson, who still denies it)

I remember striking up conversation at a bar one night with a couple of bros next to me and my bro. They were longtime friends from their D1 college gymnastics days. It was uncouth of me to ask, but I wondered if they felt it was a gay sport. They said no, barely 20% of male college gymnasts are actually gay in their estimation... that's still a lot more than 3%

Why is that funny?

1) because you seem to believe there is an epidemic in this country of people being murdered simply for being trans or gay (can you post the five most recent examples of it happening?)

2) trans people have committed a disproportionate amount of mass shootings recently

3) there are no rights that I have that anyone else does not have, in fact these “protected classes” receive preferential treatment in many cases

4) (the real whopper) The suggestion that Pride Month and all the other days celebrating someone’s sexual preferences, perversions, kinks, and mental illness wouldn’t be needed and would go away if only they…could get married, have kids, receive equal protection under the law, not get hunted in the streets

Pride month has nothing to do with obtaining any “rights” and everything to do with forcing a political agenda on people who have not asked for it. The vast majority of Americans don’t give a flying eff who you want to screw, if you think you’re actually a dog, etc, but that’s not good enough and never will be. The momentum has gone from requiring acknowledgement they exist to accepting them to now forcing us to celebrate them no matter how deranged.

It is also trying to force people to go against their political beliefs and play along with people’s delusions.

But you knew all that already.
