Phillies' 'gay' day protested

A family-values group has come out in opposition to the Philadelphia Phillies' first "Gay Community Day" planned for the baseball team's game Tuesday at Veterans Stadium.

"Families will take their children to Tuesday's baseball game for a good time, but instead they will be confronted with a 'Gay Community Day.' What type message is this giving the children attending?" asked Diane Gramley, director of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania, in a statement.

"Those who engage in homosexual activity – because this is what really defines a homosexual – are using this in-your-face method to further seek acceptance of their unnatural and dangerous sexual behavior."

According to the Associated Press, three local "gay" and lesbian professional associations hope to fill part of the upper deck along the first-base line for the game against the Milwaukee Brewers. A homosexual fan will throw out the game's ceremonial first pitch.

Homosexuals were not concerned about a backlash to the event, AP reported.

"Philadelphia is a passionate city – passionate about their sports, passionate about their teams, and I'm hoping all the fans just embrace each other and be passionate about the game," Sue Gildea, a season ticket holder, told the news service.

The AFA pointed out "gays" and lesbians are willing to support the Phillies by purchasing tickets, but the baseball team continues its support for the Scouts Explorers Program, which homosexual activists succeeded in getting the local United Way to defund.

"The question here is – the Phillies have been involved with the Scouts since 1988, but didn't homosexual activists just convince the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania to withhold funds for this very 'Learning for Life' Explorer program? So the Phillies support the Scouts on one hand, but on the other endorse those who are responsible for the Scouts losing a $400,000 grant. I'd call that somewhat double-handed," commented Gramley.

The family-values group is concerned about children going to next week's game who might be exposed to homosexual behavior. It cites the case of 11 homosexuals arrested this year in Philadelphia's Strawbridge department store for engaging in public sexual activity in one of the the store's restroom. This after a 10-year-old boy and his father unsuspectingly walked into the Strawbridge restroom before Christmas and found homosexuals engaged in sex acts.

"Public homosexual activity is becoming an increasing problem across the state, and parents need to be prepared to protect their children. The Centers for Disease Control recognizes that men who have sex with men have large numbers of anonymous partners thus resulting in the rapid transmission of HIV/AIDS and other STDs. This creates a real public health risk," said Gramley.

The homosexual organizers of the event were pleased with the Phillies' receptiveness to the "gay" day.

"I didn't expect (Phillies management) to be welcoming and opening, and they have been incredible," Larry Felzer, chair of the Gay and Lesbian Lawyers of Philadelphia, one of the sponsors of the event, told AP.

The news service reports Kathy Killian, the Phillies' director of group sales, said she expected the homosexual groups to sell between 400 and 500 tickets for the game.

It's sad to see organizations whore themsleves out in this way. But it's even worse when they do it at such a low price.

"Homosexuals were not concerned about a backlash to the event, AP reported. "

No of course not. When you have no morals, no shame, no concern for others, why the heck should you care? The gay motto is "In your face".

[Free ThinkerNY]

I heard they are handing out free butt-plugs to the first 5000 gay men who enter the stadium. They'll be thrilled to see the players swing their bats.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Pretty sad when your biggest objective in life is to tell people about your sexual activities.

[Let's Roll]

Unbelievable that 2-3% of the population continues to wag the dog this way. Politicos, institutions etc. need to wake up - just because they are loud doesn't make them numerous!

The average person was willing to tolerate - not embrace gays. To say the least, we're offended and pissed at having it shoved in our faces. Baseball would do far better to have family day or newlyweds day - anything positive.

[Lancey Howard]

I am a season ticket holder (5 seats) and I was not aware of this.
I am disgusted beyond words. I have kids.
I will surely rethink my plans for next year, new stadium be damned.

[Texas_Jarhead]

most importantly, tell THEM what you think. Cheers.

[Lancey Howard]

most importantly, tell THEM what you think. Cheers.

Oh, the Phillies will certainly be contacting me about next year, at which point I will politely ask, "Next season, what day is pervert day?", and they better have an answer because I obviously need that information in order to choose my game plan.

[Texas_Jarhead]

lol... good one

[kstewskis]

Never in my wildest nightmares did I ever expect to see America's Pastime come to this.

If baseball decides to embrace this crap, I've gone to my last game.

If Philly fans can boo Mike Schmidt for going into a slump (after a Hall of Fame career), they sure as hell can make their thoughts heard on "Gay Day." I expect youse guys to (loudly) boo any public address announcement mentioning this perverted event, and to drive that homo who's going throw out the first pitch off the mound in tears. You guys have the talent for it --- put it to good use.

[dfwgator]

This is one time I hope Philadelphians live up to the reputation as the "City of Brotherly Shove"

[Tall_Texan]

Oh, cheer up! It's a Tuesday game against the Brewers. It's not like they're playing a Major League team that day. Who else is going to attend?

[BJungNan]

It's sad to see organizations whore themsleves out in this way.

It only makes sense for them to try and attract gays to fill the stadium. I mean, no one else is going to the games and families long ago could no longer afford to go so whose left to be offended.

I gave up on baseball after the strike in the 90's and I will never be back.

Homosexuality is an unclean demon spirit. When God's annointed Army appears, any homosexual who wants instant delieverance from that lifestyle, will just have to ask the Lord, and a Son of God will appear to cast the demon out, and replaced by the overflowing Holy Spirit. Until then, we just have to let our kids understand it is not a good thing for a demon spirit to inhabit our temples. Its a miserable lifestyle being enslaved by unclean spirits.

[gorebegone]

I ain't!

[Deb]

I was hoping all season ticket holders would turn in their tickets and never go back. I guess it's too much to expect the players to refuse to play for "Gay Days".

Everyone needs to remember that the motto for the ultimate "Gay" agenda is: "Your Normality Oppresses Me".

Just as the ACLU is stripping God from every inch of American culture, their next target will be "the American family".

So they got that goin' for them.

[Lijahsbubbe]

LOL. Wonder if they'll be grabbing their crotches more than usual for that game.

[Lancey Howard]

Next target?
The primary agenda of the Democrat Party (including the homosexuals, the welfare rights activists, the abortionists, Hollywood, and the ACLU, etc.) is the belittlement and destruction of the traditional American family. This agenda has been well underway for at least twenty years. There is no "next" about it.

When the P.A. announcer says the words "now pitching" a lot of people will look around the stands to see who he's talking about.

I'm waiting for the day that the limp wristed crowd moves in on NASCAR. Boy, do they have a rude awakening waiting.

LOL!

Phillies Fans have good aim too. Didn't Richie Allen got conked once with a bottle?

.....A 'Gay Day' idea at Philadelphia sounds almost as though 'the Onion' cooked this up. Like to see them try it in the Bronx ;-)

LOL! Just like drunks are possessed by the alcohol demon and smokers are possessed by the nicotine demon and on and on.

With all due respect, I don't know of a single Christian ministry that approaches the problem of sinful behavior this way.

Yeah, that's what I want my kids to see...And the gay agenda of selling homosexuality continues.

Gays and lesbians are killing their cause with this constant media barrage. The public at large is getting sick of having 'gay-this' and 'gay-that' shoved down their throats.

I take it pitching is a gay term. How about a definition, please.

Public homosexual activity is becoming an increasing problem...

Oh my God. What the hell do you tell your 10 year old son? Do you kick some serious homo @ss? What is this, public insanity? Where the heck are the police?

[GreenHornet]

Yes, it is, but I'm not sure there's a polite way to define the term here. Let's just say that a baseball team is not the only place where you'll find "Pitchers" and "Catchers".

On a thread of this subject you just had to use that choice of words, didn't you??

"Just as the ACLU is stripping God from every inch of American culture, their next target will be "the American family"."

"Next target? The primary agenda of the Democrat Party (including the homosexuals, the welfare rights activists, the abortionists, Hollywood, and the ACLU, etc.) is the belittlement and destruction of the traditional American family."

An excerpt from: In Their Own Words: The Homosexual Agenda:

"Homosexual activist Michelangelo Signorile, who writes periodically for The New York Times, summarizes the agenda in OUT magazine:

...to fight for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society's moral codes, but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution... The most subversive action lesbian and gay men can undertake --and one that would perhaps benefit all of society--is to transform the notion of family entirely." "Its the final tool with which to dismantle all sodomy statues, get education about homosexuality and AIDS into the public schools and in short to usher in a sea change in how society views and treats us."

[Outer Limits]

Where the heck are the police?

Protecting their special rights.

[scripter]

I'm out for the rest of the day, bump. There is so much going on regarding the homosexual agenda lately we have to stay on top of it. Keep those bumps and pings coming.

Baseball and gays are a perfect match. Both suck.

[P.O.E.]

A new baseball team in NY wanted to call themselves the "Gay Yankees", but were sued by the Yankees management and had to change their name. Now they are known as the "Mets".
