Some San Francisco Giants players chose to not participate in a Pride Night. They believed it to be against their religion. They wrote a Bible scripture in their baseball caps. State Senator Scott Weiner was very offended by that.

“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…
A scripture can't be hijacked by homophobes because the Bible very clearly speaks against homosexuality. People can choose to make their own decisions, but the Bible clearly speaks about marriage and romantic relationships.
If someone chooses not to participate in a Pride event, that is not 'bigotry'. It is simply sitting out because of religious beliefs.

Standing up for Christianity is not homophobic. https://t.co/3F8UQJA8JH

It's not necessary for everyone to affirm every choice and celebrate every decision.

Once again, this was NEVER about “tolerance” or “inclusion” of LGBTQ behavior.
This is—and ALWAYS was—an evil coercive plot to compel YOU to embrace their LGBTQ religious zealotry and force you to reject your Christianity. https://t.co/2scRtzxgG4
Oh no, a Bible verse.

This "man" is pure evil. https://t.co/9ZFFsa0Sdu
A demon.
I'll save you the time of reading this. None of what the Giants players did was homophobic. https://t.co/FuHFAQ21Dq

‘Love is love’ and ‘we just want to get married’ sure turned into ‘you will wear the gay baseball cap or we will destroy your life’ real quick. It’s almost as if some slopes are indeed quite slippery. https://t.co/UixYQWzVZg
