The sad tale of Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass demonstrates how progressives have managed to induce a state of terror whereby normal people just keep their heads down and hope it goes away rather than speak out against society being forcibly reengineered to center on LGBTism.

As discussed earlier, Bass issued a groveling apology for having shared a video on social media that criticizes the LGBT agenda from a biblical perspective. Here’s follow-up:

The Toronto Blue Jays cut pitcher Anthony Bass on Friday, one day after the right-handed reliever said he didn’t think an anti-LGBTQ social media post he shared last month was hateful.

The move came hours before Bass was set to catch a ceremonial first pitch from Toronto LGBTQ activist leZlie Lee Kam before Friday’s game against Minnesota as the Blue Jays begin their fourth annual Pride Weekend celebration.

No doubt the dubious honor of catching the pitch was a reward for publicly betraying his beliefs in favor of the sick gods of LGBTism.

Fans sneered at Bass for his cowardice, possibly causing him to backslide slightly toward political incorrectness:

Bass, who was booed by Toronto fans in his two home appearances since the apology, spoke to members of the media before Thursday’s win over Houston, saying he stood by his “personal beliefs.”

However, he also continued to grovel before the alphabet thugs:

He also said he is “working hard” to educate himself, including meeting with the executive director of activist group Pride Toronto.

Not good enough. The liberal establishment requires absolute ideological compliance with the LGBT agenda. If people are allowed to express any reservations whatsoever, the whole ideology will come unraveled.

Aging glam rocker Paul Stanley can take heart. He no longer stands out as the most contemptible figure in public life. Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass has matched him by presenting the same disgraceful spectacle of a guy sane enough to acknowledge that LGBTism is wicked but too weak not to cave obsequiously to the Gaystapo:

When cowards submitting to leftists promise to educate themselves, they renounce any claim to respect.

Bass was begging forgiveness for sharing this video:

“The ballpark is for everybody,” Bass whimpers obediently. Everybody except Christians, that is.

The context is not merely Bud Light making its customers want to puke by shoving Dylan Mulvaney in their faces. The center of attention has shifted to the highly effective boycott of Target, explicitly for targeting children for transsexualization — a path that will destroy their minds, bodies, and souls.

What Paul Stanley and Anthony Bass crawl in submission before is not merely nauseating; it is satanic. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — publicly fêted by MLB teams — make this explicit.

Although there are nowhere near enough of them to redeem the sport, a tiny minority of professional baseball players have character — including the great Clayton Kershaw, who has been promoting Christian Faith Day in response to the Dodgers hosting explicitly blasphemous LGBT activists:

“For us, we felt like the best thing to do in response was, instead of maybe making a statement condemning or anything like that, would be just to instead try to show what we do support, as opposed to maybe what we don’t,” Kershaw said. “And that was Jesus. So to make Christian Faith Day our response is what we felt like was the best decision.”

Another hero is fellow Dodger Blake Treinen:

“I am disappointed to see the Sister’s of Perpetual Indulgence being honored as heroes at Dodger Stadium,” Treinen said in a statement posted to Twitter via his friend Sean Feucht. “Many of their performances are blasphemous, and their work only displays hate and mockery of Catholics and the Christian faith.”

That’s the point of it. You might say it is the point of the entire LGBT blitzkrieg being waged against society.

As reported, the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” are made up of adult men who dress as perverted nuns. They also openly sexualize Jesus Christ, degrade Mary Mother of God, and disparage other key components of the Roman Catholic faith to encourage “sexual liberation.” Per CatholicVote’s Brian Burch, “In one infamous stunt, they tricked an archbishop into giving them the Eucharist — the most important sacrament of the Catholic faith — so they could defile it.”

That’s what the liberal establishment demands we revere.

Anyone who stands up to the liberal establishment deserves kudos. Anyone who submits to it lives in a state of disgrace — particularly cowards like Anthony Bass who can’t claim not to know it is evil.

Our rulers tell us about the oppression of transsexuals in a never-ending roar. But it isn’t every day that we find an instance of a transsexual actually being oppressed. A guy named Wesley Mumford was shunned on the winner’s podium, having committed no worse crime than ruining a bike race for all the legitimate competitors:

On Sunday, 46-year-old Wesley Mumford, who … now goes by the name Lesley Mumford, trounced the competition in the 40-49 age bracket of the women’s Desert Gravel Co2Ut, a grueling 100-mile gravel race along the desert mountains of Colorado near the Utah border. In fact, based on the final results, it could hardly be considered a competition. The second-place finisher, Lindsey Kriete, crossed the finish line a full 17 minutes after Mumford, and third-place winner, Michelle Van Sickle, lost to Mumford by more than half an hour.

Wesley’s victory might have been even more impressive if he had identified as belonging in the 70–79 age bracket. But that would have been unsportsmanlike — I mean, unsportstranswomanlike.

Even after Mumford humiliated the women both physically and emotionally, he seemed nonplussed that Kriete and Van Sickle declined to join him on the winners’ podium.

Try not to burst into sobs on his behalf.

If women’s sports are to survive moonbattery, it will take more than boycotting farcical victory ceremonies. Women need to show solidarity by refusing to compete against men in events that are explicitly for women.

Professional sports used to be a form of entertainment. Then leftists took control. Now it is primarily a weapon to be used in the Culture War.

I watched baseball for the last time when I saw the players kneel in obeisance to Black Lives Matter terrorists who were tearing down statutes of the Founding Fathers. That spared me from having to endure more insults — like the Los Angeles Dodgers bestowing reverence upon the explicitly blasphemous LGBT militants calling themselves the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

On Friday, June 16, the Dodgers will partner with LA Pride to host a 10th annual LGBTQ night at Dodgers Stadium before a matchup with the San Francisco Giants.

Looks like the Biden Regime and the KGB FBI aren’t the only moonbats who have it in for Catholics:

At the pre-game event, a “Community Hero Award” will be presented to the LA Chapter of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The men dress in grotesque costumes styled after the garb of Catholic nuns and mock the faith with the motto “Go forth and sin some more!”

Now there’s a motto the liberal establishment can endorse without hypocrisy.

A “charity” raffle will be held to support the LA LGBT Center, which receives most of its funding from the government. The center calls itself an “unstoppable force.”

We’ll see whether this force is unstoppable.

After William “Lia” Thomas became the face of women’s collegiate swimming, he was called the “Jackie Robinson of trans sports,” having paved the road for others to follow. Anything a man can do, he can pretend to be a woman while doing, potentially stealing prizes from real women. This applies to all sports — even to poker:

A man won a women’s poker tournament at a Florida casino [last] weekend…

David Hughes, of Deltona, Florida, finished first in the $250 buy-in Ladies No-limit Hold’em (Re-Entry) event Saturday during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Presenting the ladies champion:

Looks like Hughes might have been inspired less by Lia Thomas than by Avi Silverberg, who highlighted the lunacy of transsexualism by identifying as a woman just long enough to win a weight-lifting competition.

According to anti-discrimination laws, Florida casinos are not permitted to ban men from entering a women’s event.

At this point it is hard to believe that antidiscrimination laws were every anything but tyrannical and absurd.

Florida isn’t alone. Even in the gambling capitol,

Nevada also prohibits poker tournaments from barring men from entering women’s tournaments.

Then there is Atlantic City:

In 2009, Abraham Korotki, a former WSOP Circuit event champion, won the $300 buy-in Ladies No-limit Hold’em event at the Borgata Poker Open in Atlantic City.

According to liberal ideology, women do not exist in any meaningful sense. This is why the question “What is a woman?” cannot be answered by a liberal. Since women have been canceled, why should they be allowed to have their own competitions?
