Two MLB teammates suffer curious injuries just in time for Pride Month & the conspiracy theories are flying
only–we will issue her a Pride Month pass. It is our giving season, after all! (Or is it giving… season? Help, we’re suffering from “gay brain!”)can I make a joke without being canceled https://t.co/SRLXgAUwZo pic.twitter.com/cD2iwuKKOBWe feel comfortable making this admittedly sophomoric insinuation, because the Padres have proven themselves to be true allies.
They’re among the first MLB teams to hold a Pride Night every season, hosting their annual Out at the Park back in April. San Diego Pride says the Padres intended to hold the first Out at the Park in 2001, but cancelled the event due to the 9/11 attacks.
Team leadership changed shortly thereafter, and the partnership never came to fruition. For years, LGBTQ+ groups in San Diego were treated like bulk ticket buyers–nothing special.
But that’s changed in recent years. The Padres were the first team in MLB to install gender-neutral bathrooms in their ballpark, and have had trans youth throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
