Atlanta Braves' Organist Trolls Anti-Gay Cubs Player Daniel Murphy with LGBTQ-Themed Songs
Matthew Kaminski, the organist for the Atlanta Braves, was hailed on Twitter Friday night after trolling anti-gay Cubs second baseman Daniel Murphy with a trio of songs related to LGBTQ topics and equality.
Murphy, who has never changed his view that he “disagrees with the (gay) lifestyle, 100 percent,” was traded to the Cubs last month just five days before “Out at Wrigley,” the franchise’s long-running LGBTQ Pride night.
The songs Kaminski chose each time Murphy came to bat:
“Lola” by The Kinks which is about a man’s encounter with a possibly trans woman,
“What The World Needs Now is Love” by Hal King
and Burt Bacharach, and “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga.

He forgot to do the awesome keyboard intro to this song:
Oh well! Save it for the playoffs I guess.
See this is what happens if you're like me and have an interest in things that aren't popular in the USA.
