Senator Lashes Out at ‘Homophobe” Giants Players Who ‘Defaced’ Pride Night Caps with Bible Verses

/0 Comments/in , /by

California’s radical gay state Senator Scott Wiener is lashing out at the three L.A. Giants players who refused to wear their team’s Gay Pride uniform caps last week, accusing the players of being “homophobes” and saying they “hijacked” the team’s Pride Night event. He also ripped “MAGA bigots” in his screed.

Weiner, who supports previously pushed state legislation to eliminate criminal penalties for adults caught sodomizing children, posted the attack on Tuesday on his X account against the players who wore Bible verses on their caps instead of Pride night messages.

“On San Francisco Giants Pride Night — also the tenth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre — several players defaced their Pride caps with a biblical passage that has been hijacked by homophobes to ‘take back’ the rainbow from LGBTQ people. The players could have displayed this passage any night of the year but chose to do it only on Pride Night,” Wiener railed.

The state senator then ripped the team for “doing nothing” about the players.

“The Giants, sadly, took no action in response, which is inconsistent with the Giants’ longstanding support for our LGBTQ community,” he exclaimed. “Major League Baseball then warned the players that MLB rules bar defacement of uniforms. The Giants should publicly commit to enforcing rules around uniform defacement and should not effectively create a homophobia exemption to those rules.”
