Astros Host Chick-fil-A Faith and Family Night, But Not An LGBTQ Pride Event

[TexasTowelie]

Twenty-three of the 30 teams in Major League Baseball will host LGBTQ Pride Nights in 2018, according to OutSports.com. But those teams don’t include our World Series Champion Houston Astros.

Although the Astros are not sponsoring an LGBTQ Pride event this year, they will host a Faith and Family Night on May 19. Faith & Family Night is sponsored by Chick-fil-A, which is well known for its support of anti-LGBTQ causes.

I reached out to the Astros front office to inquire about why the team hosts a Faith and Family Night sponsored by Chick-fil-A, but not an LGBTQ Pride night.

“The Astros pride ourselves on our commitment and inclusion to all diverse communities, including the LGBT community,” spokeswoman Dena Propis responded in a statement. “We have had a number of members of the LGBT community sing the National Anthem consistently over the past years and have also welcomed members of the community as part of hosted group games or initiatives in the ballpark. Our Faith and Family night has featured a broad range of artists and sponsors over the years – there is no correlation between our sponsor of Faith and Family and our inclusiveness of the LGBT community.”

2. Ugh!!!

damn you astros! Last year, my wife and i brought our daughter to a Houston Dash soccer game on pride night. It was a great experience. I guess the astros feel that people of faith are so discriminated against, they need a night to celebrate themselves and help others understand how hard it is to be Christian in America. Hopefully, they'll host a hobby lobby faith and family night where they'll give away illegally purchased ancient artifacts to the first 1000 fans! Go Jesus!
