Several Rays players, including pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson declined to wear the special caps with a multicolored Tampa Bay logo, opting instead for their everyday ones.

The Tampa Bay Rays celebrated their 16th Pride Night celebration on Saturday at their game against the Chicago White Sox. But as the team was encouraging inclusiveness in society, the idea was far from unifying in the Rays clubhouse.

The team also added a rainbow sunburst to the uniform sleeve for the game, similar to what the San Francisco Giants have done in support of the LGTBQ community. Players and staff were not required to participate, and several chose to remove the decal.Adam said, according to the Tampa Bay Times . “So it’s a hard decision. Because ultimately we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here.

Can they cite the Bible passages? I’m interested in learning.

Voluntary is ok. Forced wearing of political statements is not good.

Episcopalian Jesus is ok with Pride rainbows. Methodist Jesus is ok with Pride Rainbows. Other Christian Jesus’ are ok with Pride. Which Jesus is anti- Pride?

It is good to know who are the homophobic ones on the team. Hiding behind their “Christianity” - what hypocrites. Good for the Rays and all their players who wore the Pride patches.

And they have every right to do that. This isn’t news.

Well done guys!

TBH… they shouldn’t be asked to support Pride. That’s the problem, people try to shove gay down your throat. Nothing wrong with gay, it shouldn’t be required just because it’s pride month. Acceptance is allowing you to be,not requiring others to participate. 🌈 power, activate!

If heterosexuals had a patch, would demonize LGBQs for not wearing the heterosexual patch?

It's their choice. We don't have to celebrate gayness. A lot of us don't care.

Maybe because there are no heterosexual patches. Why are only LBGQ lifestyles celebrated? Pushing only LGBQ as “ good” demonizes heterosexuals by omission. It’s heterophobic.

afraid of desantis? grow up and grow a pair..

Why should you be forced to celebrate someone's sexual preference?

Good. This whole pride thing is fkn stupid.

Thank you for letting me know.
