San Diego Padres Plan Gay Pride and Youth Photo Promotion on Same Sunday

Isn't it interesting that a team whose mascot is a Catholic priest has scheduled a Gay Pride celebration on the same day they're promoting Padres photo day with free gifts for children. That hits a little close to home for the Catholic Church:

The San Diego Padres will once again offer a free event to attract children on the same day that the area's homosexual organization celebrates 'gay pride' at the ballpark.

As WND reported in 2007, the Padres' July 8 game presented free caps to children while also formally recognizing San Diego Pride.

The promotional event this year, on June 7, will feature a Padres photo day presented by Sony. Fans will be allowed to take pictures of their favorite players, coaches and the Swinging Friar on the field prior to the game. Macy's will present children younger than 14 with a Padres photo frame.

The Major League Baseball team has also announced a homosexual pride "celebration" scheduled for the same day on its website.

"Celebrate Pride at the San Diego Padres game versus the Airzona (sic) Diamondbacks on Sunday, June 7th at 1:05 p.m. This is an opportunity to celebrate LGBT Pride while enjoying a day of fun and baseball with other San Diego LGBT community supporters and volunteers," it states.

I looked at the Padres' website and sure enough, both events are scheduled for the same day.

You might want to keep the kids out of the special Gay Pride section. There could be some "padres" up there.
