🚨PRIDE MONTH🚨
The Texas Rangers are the ONLY MLB team not acknowledging “Pride Month.”
The Rangers are again not hosting an LGBT night event.
Instead, on June 18, they will be hosting a Faith and Family Night.
According to their website, the event will feature “personal testimonies from Rangers players Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung, Cody Bradford, Jacob Latz, Jalen Beeks, and others, sharing how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field.”
I don’t have anything against Pride folks. My issue is with how heavily Pride Month gets pushed and advertised by major corporations. Rogers isn’t doing this purely out of goodwill. It’s a publicly traded corporation that reports on ESG and DEI metrics, where LGBTQ+ inclusion falls under the “Social” side of ESG. Pride messaging helps corporations check those boxes for public image, investor expectations, recruitment, retention, and corporate reputation. That’s the point.
