Like most professional sports, Major League Baseball players have been forced to promote the LGBTQ community — especially during Pride Month.But this Pride Month things are changing, and gay baseball fans are not happy about it.In one article for the magazine “Out Sports” titled “Gay Giants fan’s heartbreaking letter shows the cost of the team’s Pride Night failure,” a fan laments the actions of several San Francisco Giants players who chose to do their own thing on Pride Night.“So this fan wrote a note to the San Francisco Giants ... about this incident that happened at their Pride Night festival,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere explains on “Stu Does America.” “Now as you may know, every Major League Baseball team has a Pride Night with the exception of the Texas Rangers.”While the team did celebrate Pride Night, multiple Giants players wore hats boasting Bible verses.“Signifying, ‘Hey, like you know this isn’t a thing that we want to be involved in, and we have a different opinion,’” Stu explains.The Bible verse in question “talks about the rainbow and how it was God’s sign.”The disgruntled fan wrote that he has been “a lifelong Giants fan for over 40 years,” beginning when he “attended games as a kid” and “arrived early to get autographs from players.”“As an LGBTQ athlete, I’ve had the honor of going to a Pride night or day for many years. I’ve also organized 200 plus softball players to attend the game annually,” he said.“I was unbelievably disappointed by the offensive and disrespectful actions of a few Giants players who chose to write a Bible verse on their hats that was meant to reclaim the rainbow as a Christian/Catholic symbol,” he continued.“Now, my understanding was the Bible came long before Pride Night. I don’t know if that’s accurate, Dave, historically, but I believe it is,” Stu says.The gay author went on to explain that in 1978, Gilbert Baker created the rainbow flag in San Francisco as a symbol of pride.“I will note 1978 is after the Bible came out,” Stu comments, pointing out that “not everything has to be about sex.”“Like you can actually have a sport where people come out and enjoy the sport,” he adds.Want more from Stu and Dave?To enjoy more of Stu and Dave's lethal blend of wit, humor, and insightful commentary subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The U.S. Supreme Court has given President Donald Trump a major victory in his mission for mass deportations of migrants from the U.S.SCOTUS ruled Thursday that the Trump administration was within its power to strip Temporary Protective Status from hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians. The 6-3 ruling overturned a lower court ruling that had postponed the termination of TPS for 6,000 migrants from Syria and 350,000 migrants from Haiti.'The Trump administration continues to lawfully end the egregious abuses to our immigration system that have hurt Americans for years.'"The TPS statute plainly bars consideration of respondents' nonconstitutional claims," wrote Justice Samuel Alito in the majority opinion.While the defendants' attorneys had argued that the administration had acted out of racial animus, Alito noted that "the current administration, which has terminated every TPS designation that has come up for renewal, simply opposes the TPS program, at least as it has been implemented in the past."Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined the dissent written by Justice Elena Kagan, who wrote that the plaintiffs "deserve better" than the decision made by the majority."True enough that TPS is a temporary program, and that it did not promise the plaintiffs never-ending humanitarian protection," wrote Justice Elena Kagan."But the law prevents the program from ending as it likely did here — without the required consultations about country conditions and, as to Haiti, with impermissible race-based considerations tainting the decision."Abigail Jackson, a spokesperson for the White House, praised the ruling and reiterated the administration's claim that previous Democratic presidents had misused the TPS program to grant de facto amnesty to migrants. "It was never intended to be a pathway to permanent status or legal residency, and it is committed to the discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security," she said. "The Trump administration continues to lawfully end the egregious abuses to our immigration system that have hurt Americans for years."RELATED: Springfield officials, Ohio activists brace for end to TPS protection for Haitian migrants Ahilan Arulanantham, a UCLA law professor who argued on behalf of the Syrian plaintiffs, called on Congress to vote to pass legislation in favor of TPS protections."Without TPS, millions of individuals who are part of our communities are at risk of being sent back to countries in crisis," he said.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York responded that Democrats are eager to intervene on behalf of the migrants affected. "In a cruel and inhumane decision, the Supreme Court just turned its back on more than 300,000 Haitians and thousands of Syrians who have worked and raised families here because they faced violence and instability back home. TPS exists for exactly this reason," he said in a statement on social media. "I have introduced legislation to extend TPS for Haitians and will keep fighting to protect Haitian and Syrian families from being forced back into danger," he added. "America should not turn its back on people who came here seeking safety."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

CNN's Harry Enten shrieked in mock terror at President Donald Trump's abrupt about-face on signing a bipartisan affordable-housing bill to knuckle down on his bill to impose new restrictions on voting.The 80-year-old president caught lawmakers and staffers off guard by announcing just over an hour before the signing ceremony that he would not add his signature to the law until Congress passed his SAVE America Act, and the chief data analyst told "CNN News Central" that Republicans are likely horrified."You know, if I was a Republican member of Congress and I am listening to President Trump, the only words that enter my mind are, 'Oh God, oh God, no, what are you doing?'" Enten wailed. "That is because the issue has not gone away at all. Google searches for affordability, look at this, up 500 percent this week versus the pre-2026 average. In fact, they reach, you have it going across the top of your screen, reach an all-time ... high this week. So no, the issue of affordability is not going away.""There is a reason why Republicans wanted this legislation not just passed," he added, "but signed into law by the president of the United States, because this this is the issue, of course, that got Donald Trump elected in the first place, and they want to be able to give their voters something the are members of Congress something so that the voters, perhaps you know, don't vote them out of office come November."Host John Berman marveled at the finding about searches for affordability hitting an all-time high and questioned Trump's decision to abandon the housing bill for now, and Enten slammed the move."Great politics," Enten said, sarcastically."President Trump got elected to bring down inflation, got elected to fix the economy, in the voters' mind," Enten continued, "and do they think he's keeping his campaign promises? No, no, no, no, oh God, no, Trump kept his 2024 campaign promises. You know, you go back to April of 2025 among voters. The bare majority, but a majority nonetheless, 52 percent said yes, 47 percent said no, that 52 percent down to the ground now. Now it's 40 percent, while that percentage said no, it's up now it's the clear majority, 55 percent say that Trump is not keeping his campaign promises.""So when he is off yesterday, not signing that bill to help bring down, make housing more affordable, instead talking about the SAVE Act, this is what they're talking about, President Trump taking his eyes off the ball and not keeping his 2024 campaign," Enten added. - YouTube youtu.be
