For another year, the Texas Rangers stood apart from every other Major League Baseball franchise by choosing not to participate in LGBT Pride Month festivities that the league’s other 29 teams took part in during June.
Rather than joining in the widespread Pride celebrations, the Rangers organization held what they called a “Faith and Family Night” at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. During the event, several players took the opportunity to share their personal faith testimonies with fans in attendance.
Republican Governor Greg Abbott voiced his support for the team’s decision on the social media platform X, writing: “In Texas, we don’t punish people for living out their faith. We protect that right.”
