A number of Tampa Bay Rays players decided not to wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms as part of the team’s annual “Pride Night” on Saturday

“So it’s a hard decision,” Adam. “Because ultimately we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here. But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe – not that they look down on anybody or think differently – it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior.

USGrantsCigar 🌿You can't force someone to respect you and the gay community has turned a lot of people off. MANY who had no problem with it before dislike them now due to the intimidation tactics. Sad. When did we lose our modesty.

Christian bigotry and ‘love’ proudly on display

sounds like they need a better education system

So by not wearing the pride logo they thought it will be less gays since they don’t ”promote” it? Maybe they need to go back to school since I’m pretty sure they, wearing the logo, will not be the reason for xx to be gay or not, but it can help people to be who they are.

You have to admire the Rays players who made the decision NOT to put PRIDE LOGOS on their shirts during Sat.&Sun.'s games,due to their beliefs in their religion.Their beliefs in JESUS & his teachings did not allow them to blindly follow the world views but answered all lovingly!

okay, so what?

well done ….

Ultimately no one should be mandated to take part. It should be an individual choice!

I don't support companies exploiting pride month to push a product either.

DeSantis is the real victim here...
