Like the intrepid problem-finders who work so hard at being offended by something someone may have said a decade ago as a teenager, progressives found a reason to be offended, unsafe and disrespected, and they are having a full-blown hissy fit over it.
The "it" being referred to is that some members of the Tampa Bay Rays major league baseball team have decided not to celebrate Pride Month. Perhaps they are religious and see pride as a sin. Perhaps they simply want nothing to do with the event for personal reasons that is none of our business. Perhaps they see it a gay and want no part of it, so they decided not to wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms as part of the team's yearly "Pride Night" on Saturday.
The event is designed to legitimize the struggles lesbians, bisexual people, gay men, transgender [aka gender dysphoric] men and women and people of all sorts of letters of the alphabet, numbers, tilde and plus signs face every day by imaginary Trump supporters who come out on the streets in the early morning hours in sub-zero weather in MAGA hats, carrying nooses, and bleach . . . in Chicago, New York or LA shouting, "This is MAGA country!" while the poor victims just want to eat their sandwiches.
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash [no relation to Johnny] addressed the refusal of some team members refusing to bend over backwards to accommodate the LGBTQMNOP+1~ after Sunday’s game. He doesn’t think it’ll negatively impact the clubhouse because discussions among the players over past few weeks were constructive and emphasized the value of differing perspectives no matter how bizarre the sexual appetites are.
"If people identify as fire hydrants, they're fire hydrants, as far as I see it," he said. "I just worry about his friend who identifies as a beagle."
Reliever Jason Adam, one of the players who chose not to wear the logo, explained that for him, it was a “faith-based decision.” During an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, he said, “It’s just what we believe the lifestyle [Jesus] encouraged us to live for our good, not to withhold.”
Romans 1:27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Timothy 1:8-11 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
Romans 1:26-28 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

He added: “But we love these men and women, we care about them and we want them to feel safe and welcome here.”
Thus far, nobody has threatened the life of Jason Adam as they did with Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire who made a documentary "What is a Woman," that has caused him numerous death threats because progressives are a passionate group of folks.
During the event, groomers of the LGBTQ community participated in pregame activities and handed out miniature LGBTQ flags to fans both old and very young.
Some sports writers, who clearly don't believe in the First Amendment, attacked the team for not falling in lockstep with the demands made upon them. These cretins claim, using the straw man fallacy, that if you don't want to be a purveyor of Pride Month that means you hate the LGBTQMNOP+1~ community.
Except for the minor Biblical fact that Jesus never said a f**king thing against lgbt people. @RaysBaseball https://t.co/SJoGLbdQe2

Except He did, at least the Bible says the following [to mention just a few of the verses]:
Timothy 1:8-11 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
So spare us your vulgar take on theology and Jesus.

It seems many people on the left make claims that they know little to nothing about because they don't read about it; they feeeeel about it.
I hear that next year major league baseball is going to honor former President Donald J. Trump and is having all players wear red MAGA hats as a sign of respect.
