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.

I Didn’t Disappear. I Refused.
