Baseball is For Everyone: Part 4

Greetings, Vocal readers and Happy Pride Month! I've addressed the many reasons why America's pastime is for everyone in previous stories, which I'll have down below. I know I said that the previous story of me discussing this topic was the last time addressing opponents of LGBTQ+ people and anything that's related to it. Now, I have even more things to discuss and helpful advice for them. Once you have read this story, please give it a like and subscribe to my page on here. Also, follow me on my socials. Finally, please send me a one-off tip at the end of this story to support my work as I continue to write and publish more stories.

The first half of the 2025 Major League Baseball season will be winding down in a few weeks before the All-Star Game in Atlanta begins in mid-July. As a gay baseball fan who loves his team, the Texas Rangers, it's disheartening to see a majority of fans still have negative assumptions about us, further perpetuating offensive and negative stereotypes. As I've stated in one of my previous stories, you can't be a baseball fan and a bigot. There's nothing wrong with MLB and teams celebrating Pride Month and Pride Nights at their respective ballparks. If rainbow imagery or a rainbow flag is so "triggering" to you and affecting your life, then that's a you problem. This is an example of trying to look for problems that aren't there. I'm not here to validate your feelings, nor I'm responsible for you feeling uneasy or insecure.

If you would like to support and advocate for us, that's great. If not, that's okay too. Just don't make our lives more difficult that it already is. You're entitled to whatever beliefs you wish, but I ask you to stop spreading untruths and lies about us. How can you dislike a group of people you probably have never met? If you believe that sports teams and leagues celebrating Pride Month is a personal attack towards your beliefs, it isn't. No one is forcing you to take part in it or make people gay, transgender, and so on, so I'm going to nip that ongoing, offensive narrative in the bud right now. Constantly looking for problems in everything will lead you to having a sad life. This is hard to hear, but it's true. Once you stop looking for things to be so worked up over, your life will be a bit easier. You just have to let people be and leave them alone. How people live their lives shouldn't affect your life at all, because if you're so happy with your life, why do you care about what others do? You are harping on things that has nothing to do with you is manufactured outrage and you're arguing with yourself. It's wise to move on if something doesn't relate to you.

Pride Month is a time where we celebrate being our true selves and for the allies who support us unconditionally. We're not trying to brainwash you or anyone else, so let's cut that out. Going back to the topic of MLB celebrating Pride Month: if you're so up in arms about rainbow themed images and you're a baseball fan, then why are you wearing that jersey? Why do you continue to attend these games? Why are you wearing that ball cap? You and a majority of the population constantly complain about wokeness ruing sports and almost every aspect, but it's not going to disappear anytime soon, so please get over yourself. We can't control everything, and this is one of them. Also, if everything being inclusive bothers you so much, again, that's a you problem and need to reassess your life and reevaluate your biases. Being self-centered and closed-minded for the rest of your life isn't the best way to live life to the fullest.

You're welcome to attend Pride events with us as an ally and support us in general, but like I said earlier, don't make our lives even more difficult than it is already. Doing this shouldn't compromise your own personal beliefs at all. Baseball is everyone's sport, and it shouldn't be gatekept. My advice to you is to have a bit of an open mind. Companies and sports teams celebrating Pride Month are not personally attacking you or your beliefs. I say these final things in the most respectful way: look within yourself and stop looking for things to complain about because you are not helping yourself when you do this. Don't make assumptions about people you have never met and judge them. Be the bigger adult and take these pieces of advice to heart.
