Yankees set to be only MLB team not to host LGBTQ Pride Night
NBC News ^ | July 5, 2018 | Kit Ramgopal

When the New York Mets held their first LGBTQ Pride Night in August 2016, fans waved rainbow flags in the stadium, the Lesbian and Gay Big Apple Corps Marching Band performed, Citi Field’s giant Coca-Cola sign was lit up in rainbow colors and the Kiss Cam caught several same-sex smooches throughout the game. In keeping with tradition, the team honored a veteran at the game, and for that first Pride Night, the Mets honored a gay Army vet.

Nearly two years later, however, the Mets’ hometown rivals — the New York Yankees — have yet to host a Pride Night of their own, In fact, the Yankees are currently the only Major League Baseball team that has neither had a Pride Night nor has one scheduled.

I’ve only ever been a Yankees fan (OK so only for about 10 years). Either way, I am ELATED to hear that they are not promoting perversion.

George Steinbrenner would rise up out of the grave with both guns blazing if they did!

I didn’t know the NYY were the only ones. I just became a Yankee fan.

And we wonder why NBC cowers like little mice in its NYC headquarters and refuses to send its propagandists into the hinterland.

Why does a baseball team need a Pride night? Why does every single organization and entity lately have to celebrate people's sexual orientation every time we turn around? I've nothing against them, but it's getting downright weird. "Oh, the PTA is having a bake sale? When is it having a Pride Bake Sale??... Oh, there's a bowling alley in this town? What night is the Pride Bowling Event? ... Oh, there's a Country Club? What night is the Pride Golfing Event? Oh look, a zoo. What day is Zoo Pride....?"

I mean, there's "We're here, we're queer, get used to it," and then there's "We're here, we're queer, and we want your undivided attention every damn minute."

Black Lives Matter must look over at them like "Give someone else a chance, bro."

There is a good reason by the NY Yankees haven’t hosted a “Gay Pride” event. They are trying to live up to the title of the movie “Pride of the Yankees”. Lou Gehrig was a man for all of America, not just a one segment.

Public shaming is a popular technique used by leftists. do not give in to it if/when it happens to you.

The headline makes this sound like it’s a problem? Are businesses supposed to celebrate perversity as a way to improve the bottom line? I’m pretty sure queer Yankee fans will continue to be fans.

I’ll be impressed when they don’t schedule one next year.

My company celebrates LGBTQ month as well and proudly displays this crap in the “diversity” room. Evey time I walk by I wonder when they’re going to celebrate Straight Pride month......

Homosexual “Pride Month” has become liberals’ Ramadan. You are REQUIRED to engage in moral peacocking for the sacred time.

I follow your line of thinking concerning sports also.
