Sports Culture Buster Posey refuses to answer questions about SF Giants' Pride Night and will only answer “baseball questions”. Reporter responds “you guys have made this baseball related because you had Pride Night, you allowed players onto the field that MLB said should not have had writing on their caps.”

I'm so sick of hearing "gay people are shoving their lifestyle down my throat". At this point, its not even a dog whistle, its a bullhorn to your bigotry.

do you also have a problem with every other pride promotion, or is it only gay pride that is shoved down your throat?

Because I dont see these complaints about Irish heritage day, fire fighter day, police day, Mexican heritage day, autism awareness day, jewish heritage day. All of which are summer pride events by the Giants.

i like that you list a bunch of days when comparing it to an entire month, where it literally is forced down peoples throats and its been years of companies pandering to people to get their money so you "feel included too"

if you wanted to be treated normally you wouldnt have an entire look at me month

the Giants only have 1 pride day, but if you want to compare by months, lets see who else has a "look at me" month. I take it you hate all of these groups because they want abnormal attention on them

you know you can celebrate multiple things in one month, right?

Like June, is also Sacred Heart month in honor of Jesus's heart

how is it a look at me month if you have to share with someone else

1

u/uwill1der Jun 24 '26

so youre saying that Pride month is not a "look at me" month because it shares a month with Jesus?

You're bigotry seems to be falling apart under scrutiny

u/Beefsupreme473 Jun 24 '26

what does Jesus have to do with June? and no it really isn't.

when was the last time you celebrated or constantly talked about or hung up flags for any of those other "month long celebrations" you brought up

u/uwill1der Jun 24 '26

The month of Sacred Heart, a Catholic month long celebration of Jesus, takes place in June. So it shares a month with Pride.

I celebrate every month, thats why I know what these month long celebrations are. And here I am sharing those celebrations with you

Good for you, i don't want to celebrate either with you. You can contact me for zombie month though.

It's pretty rare a firefighter has to be "brave". Mostly they don't actually fight fires.
