Pittsburgh Pirates celebrate LGBT Pride … on Kids’ Day

Image
It seems you can’t even take your kid to a ballgame these days without encountering the ol’ red-orange-yellow-green-blue-and-purple. The Pride flag will take the place of Old Glory in  Pittsburgh’s PNC Park on July 2  when the Pirates’ first-ever Gay Pride Day falls on the weekly Kids’ Day. Each ticket to the Major League Baseball game will include a Pirates Pride Day cap, complete with rainbow-hued “P”. Mental health awareness advocate Richard Jarzynka has begun a campaign on Facebook to protest the conflation of the two events.   “I have been a Pittsburgh Pirate fan for 50 seasons,” he declared online. That ended the day he found out about the Pirates “Pride” celebration. “As a Christian, I cannot support an organization which actively promotes a behavior which the Word of God repeatedly and unequivocally declares to be a sin,” Jarzynka wrote. His disappointment stems not only from his long years of fandom but from attending the Pirates’ Faith Night. “I cannot abide

Major League Baseball team under fire for inviting Christian speaker who opposes transgender bathrooms

Lots of Major League Baseball teams hold special group promotions to help sell tickets. One such attraction for the Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, and other teams is “Christian Day,” when current and former team members share details about their faith in Christ. On “Christian Day,” fans in some cities bring food and groceries to support military families.   This year’s “Christian Day” for Cardinals fans is July 30 and includes former player Lance Berkman, a Christian who has spoken publicly  against transgender bathrooms . Though the Cardinals have hosted “Christian Day” for nearly 30 years, they are now coming under fire from the homosexual community.   The “Pride Center” of St. Louis went online to demand “ homophobe ” Berkman’s appearance be “ cancelled ” because his “words and actions towards the LGBT (community) are divisive and demeaning.” In 2015, Berkman publicly  opposed  a Houston city ordinance that added “gender identity” to its anti-discrimination law

Children exposed to homosexual makeouts on ‘Kiss Cam’ at Dodgers baseball game

As America and the West rapidly de- Christianize , the physical, spiritual, and moral threats to our children rise, seemingly in inverse proportion to the expanding godless chaos. The LGBTQ movement, essentially a powerful, well-marketed sin movement, is right up there with radical feminists in tearing down centuries-old norms and our children’s innocence in the process. Take the Los Angeles Dodgers , for example. This Major League Baseball franchise, like so many in  professional sports  today, celebrates all things LGBTQ ( Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer ), effectively championing immorality masquerading as noble “civil rights,” “equality,” and “diversity.” Friday, June 9 was  LGBT “Pride Night”  at Dodger Stadium , and that means it was not a good night for parents to bring their sons and daughters to the ballgame. That is, unless you don’t mind your kids being morally corrupted (as many “progressive” parents apparently don’t; see  here ,  here  and  here ). Or

Daniel Murphy (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) A Major League Baseball player has been told by his team, the New York Mets, to keep his religious views to himself and only talk about the sport in public after he expressed his Christian view of homosexuality. Reporters asked Mets infielder Daniel Murphy to comment on his team’s decision to sign up openly homosexual player Billy Bean, dubbed Major League Baseball's "inclusion ambassador" by the New Jersey  Star-Ledger , to attend spring training camp. Murphy said that, from his Christian perspective, he doesn't condone Bean's lifestyle but would welcome him to the team. "I disagree with his lifestyle," Murphy said. "I do disagree with the fact that Billy is a homosexual.” “That doesn't mean I can't still invest in him and get to know him,” he quickly added. “I don't think the fact that someone is a homosexual should completely shut the door on investing in them in a relational aspec
