Concerned, worried, care so much, following it, etc etc.

You are posting an awful lot about it. This is not the first time I've seen you mention it. I'm just wondering why you care so much about this Sox event?

I went there a few months back before a show at The Aragon. I thought it was a clever name, and snapped a picture of the sign out front and sent it to Bagels. (Gotta support The Crew) I get a response a few minutes later, "Ummm, that's a gay bar" I realized this like 15 seconds after I walked in. The waitress was VERY friendly with the wife.

What's your point here biggie? Should we not be accepting of this event?

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

well, I have many points.

1. Just to piss off the people who get upset about anything Sox (check)

2. Mock the Sox fans that have spent the better part of twenty years for not accepting the LGBT people.

3. Hugely mocking the Sox organization for having a night of LGBT alleged celebration without mentioning anywhere on their website, only mentioned on the Sox Facebook site (Allegedly). Yes, I find it funny that an organization tries to have this evening and doesnt mention it.

4. Want to go?

Lets just debunk this nonsense one by one.

1) Who was upset? I sure wasn't. I asked a simple question, which you pruned and still haven't answered.

2) This is just made up. You have no idea if this is true or not.

3)https://www.facebook.com/events/278046095657617/
Except that the organization is not the host of this event.
"Join Equality Illinois..." So you want the White Sox to put other peoples' events on their website? That is a new low of stupidity even for you.

4) Golf outing then a block party tomorrow, so I can't. What section are you and Hanley sitting in?

0-4, biggie. The ol' golden sombrero. Want to try to make it 0-5 or 0-6?

Anti-Gay Fans Rant On Facebook Over White Sox LGBT Night

Ready for today's eye roll-inspiring news? Because apparently people like this still exist.

Last week the Chicago White Sox announced that the sporting organization would begin sponsoring a night called "LGBT Pride Night: Out at the Sox," in celebration and support of the queer community. According to the organization's Facebook post, the night is in partnership with Equality Illinois and will take place on Aug. 16 when the White Sox take on the Blue Jays.

This move, predictably, brought out the bigots who are once again here to remind us how backwards some people in America still are when it comes to issues of power and privilege.


"When is the Straight Pride night going to be? If it's all about equality then let's make it across the board," one insightful individual mused on the Facebook page, and the comment received a whopping 112 likes.

"When is white male night? Do we really need an event for every belief and ethnicity?" another individual questioned, apparently unaware that every night throughout The United States' history has essentially been a celebration of "white men."

The comments continued to get worse, but there do seem to be a few voices of reason among the White Sox's Facebook following, like this one:

Hey, look... it's a bunch of people whining because a baseball team is holding a night for people who aren't liked by an ignorant section of a religion. I don't see any whining about Jewish Heritage Nights, or Latino Heritage Nights, etc. Why should this be any different?
And to those "Where is straight pride night" people... come back to me when you can point out a time when straight people were persecuted and alienated because of their orientation. I'll give you a hint and save you time: IT'S NEVER HAPPENED. EVER.
You jerks are an absolute disgrace to humanity.
Regardless of the backlash (or, perhaps because of it), we'd like to offer our thanks to the Chicago White Sox for supporting LGBT individuals and standing on the right side of history.

Check out the flyer below for more information about "LGBT Pride Night: Out at the Sox."

"No way will I take my grandkids to this game," one post reads. "Every true white sox fan should boycott this game." Reads another: "After seeing this ... I may jump the fence to a Cubs fan."

While the Sox did not agree to make it an official sponsored evening by the team, they are hosting the event. This leads to some confusion of where the organization stands on the issue.

Sox spokesman Lou Hernandez said there's "no appropriate response to that type of disrespectful and degrading commentary."

He said the team has hosted similar LGBT group outings since 2007, and paired up with Equality Illinois in 2013.

"We do certainly aggressively work to make the experience inviting to all groups. It's part of creating that inviting atmosphere," Hernandez said. "From a diversity standpoint, we work hard to be as inviting and diverse as possible."

We guess they just don't want to officially attach their name to the event.
