Yet a number of players on the team refed to wear the rabow or monstrate support for the muny, wh a spokperson sayg they did so based on relig objectns to homosexualy.
The statement is chock full of ridiculons, namely: Hidg behd a Christian fah that at s te re actually valu clivy and rejects judgment; Denyg the Pri rabow says very clearly LGBTQ people are not wele; Beg gay is not a ‘liftyle’; And the ia that this cisn is not ‘judgmental’ or that the men are ‘not lookg down’ at LGBTQ people is plete and utter bullsh. Unfortunately, the Rays management approached this differently, allowg homophobia amongst a handful of 20-somethgs to drive the uniforms that some of the players wore.
Bee of club management’s utter failure, and the players allowg their homophobia to dictate their actns, stead of talkg about the strong LGBTQ support that exists Major League Baseball and wh the Rays’ anizatn, all anyone is talkg about om that game is the players who don’t want to support gay “behavr. Do that mean that every sgle player and ach on the teams has renciled their church’s possible doctre wh homosexualy? What should lead to is more open, hont dialogue wh clubho and buildg an environment where people n have disagreements, but where everyone rolls out the red rpet to wele people whether they are Christian, gay, Black, trans, a ary veteran or anyone else.
