Of all the institutions that have succumbed to the radical left, none is more maniacally woke than Major League Baseball. The Detroit Tigers fund sex change surgery for children. Liberal social engineering has reached the point that people who paid to watch a ballgame are subjected to drag queen performances:

At long last, a few players have worked up the nerve to resist endorsing this:

“In an effort to make their commitment [to the LGBTQ+ community] more visible, the [Tampa Bay] Rays this year decided to follow the lead of the Giants and add rainbow-colored logos to their Pride Night uniforms, to the “TB” on their caps and a sunburst on their right jersey sleeves,” reports the Tampa Bay Times.

However, numerous players chose to peel off the pride logo and wear their normal hats, including Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson.

Adam was chosen to speak for the refuseniks:

“A lot of it comes down to faith, to like a faith-based decision,” Adam said. “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. But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe — not that they look down on anybody or think differently — it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior, just like (Jesus) encourages me as a heterosexual male to abstain from sex outside of the confines of marriage.”

This viewpoint is regarded by our ruling class as beyond the pale. Enraged that anyone would dare decline to publicly endorse the sick LGBT agenda, progressives are vomiting bile:

“To the @RaysBaseball players refusing to wear the Pride patch referencing their beliefs In Jesus…. Absolute bulls**t,” one Twitter user declared. “Jesus took in and loved thieves, adulterers, prostitutes, and criminals. Don’t you dare use Christ as a [sic] excuse for your homophobic BS. Racist frauds.”

Refraining from endorsing sexual perversion makes you a racist, since racism is anything liberals don’t like.

“Hey @RaysBaseball, why did you allow homophobic players to express their homophobia on Pride Night?” another user asked.

Maybe Christian players should be forced to take the field dressed in drag at gunpoint. Anything less might qualify as allowing them to “express their homophobia.”

“Religious bigots are one of the worst aspects of American life and have to be condemned and fought at every turn,” another user said.

All Christians are bigots, since a bigot can be defined as someone who belongs to a group liberals hate.

“If your religious beliefs don’t allow you to wear a damn pride number on your jersey, [d]on’t give your fake performative bulls**t of ‘we accept everyone.’ [S]o Tampa Bay Rays please get f***ed with your ‘wouldn’t allow it’ f***ery,” another user waxed poetic.

According to liberal reasoning, you must accept all behavior, or you are intolerant. Behavior frowned on by liberals (e.g., refusing to endorse the LGBT agenda) doesn’t count.

Yet again we see that “tolerance” means no deviation from leftism is to be tolerated. It isn’t enough to all but criminalize criticism of the LGBT agenda. They want to compel speech in support of it.

You cannot be a Bible-believing Christian without rejecting the LGBT agenda. However, you don’t need to be Christian to resist. Degeneracy and depravity have been reviled throughout the world and throughout history by all healthy societies, Christian and non-Christian alike.
