We are deeply saddened by the passing of Billy Bean and mourn the loss of one sport's' leading champions in the fight for equality and inclusion. The impact of his work is immeasurable and we take pride in knowing that Billy left baseball and sport better than he found it.

[MLB @MLB]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague Billy Bean, MLB’s Senior VP for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion and Special Assistant to the Commissioner. Billy, who fought a heroic year-long battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, was 60.

Over the last 10 years, Billy worked passionately and tirelessly with MLB and all 30 Clubs, focusing on player education, LGBTQ inclusion, and social justice initiatives to advance equality in the game for all.

Billy’s 10-year playing career included six Major League seasons with the Tigers, Dodgers, and Padres.

Commissioner Rob Manfred called Billy “one of the kindest and most respected individuals I have ever known” and someone who “made Baseball a better institution, both on and off the field.”

HomeField board member @joealtenau said it best: "Visibility matters. Thank you Justin Rogers for sharing your story." And thank you for being a member of Homefield Alliance.

[Seattle Kraken @SeattleKraken]

For Assistant Athletic Trainer Justin Rogers, the path to understanding his identity as a gay man working in sports took time. 

Now, with the #SeaKraken, Rogers is living authentically with a team that knows his sexuality → https://t.co/FNmOITYN9L

We are thrilled to see the NHL reverse course on it's previous Pride Tape direction for players in the league. Proof that powerful discourse, allyship, and the voices of the LGBTQ+ community are stronger together than the dissenting voices of a few.

[Pride Tape @PrideTape]

We are so very grateful to everyone who believes hockey should be a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for all. We are extremely happy that NHL players will now have the option to voluntarily represent important social causes with their stick tape throughout season. @nhl @NHLPA

[Joe Altenau @joealtenau]

To everyone who stood up and said this isn’t going to work, thank you. 🏒 🏳️‍🌈

A Statement from HomeField on the Recent NHL Ban on Pride Tape:

[Joe Altenau @joealtenau]

The past 48 hours have shown how much work still needs to be done for the #LGBTQ+ community. We won’t stop until everyone feels comfortable being their true self. Happy NCOD!
