I agree. I'm gay and I do remember a time when seeking to identify as gay was important, and it did mean something. But with marriage equality and a very rapidly changing society, I just don't feel a need to wear that, or any, label. I live in one of the nation's most liberal cities in perhaps the most liberal state, and in my circle, I see less and less desire, need or inclination to self-identify. It just doesn't matter around here. As a consequence, I have more straight friends, which sort of just recently happened. That said, I can't imagine any straight person in PVD saying what was said at the baseball park.

Now if only Gay Pride would rebrand its name. Again, it meant something at one time and was important to us, but it's getting creepy, it's starting to conjure images of Aryan Pride... or something equally exclusive and propagandist.

Yeah, anyone who joins a group, and does this sort of thing tend to be very good at it. They missed out I suspect on some great singing.

It is not like these are annoying activists who are forever offended or something.

I think some people hear "gay men chorus" they automatically assume they sing like a girl.
Yes it's a stereotype. Jim Nabors most certainly never sounded like a girl. A pretty amazing voice.

I didn't demean them for being a "gay men's choir". I was just noting that everyone should be able to take a ribbing.

The Padres owe them a major apology and maybe a donation with the hopes they will come back.

I know. I understand the point you are making.

I have told my straight guy friends "that is so gay" many times. I don't dare saying that in public. Afraid I might end up being the bigot on youtube.com lol

Fans will be fans, but the real question is; was the wrong recording that was played and honest mistake, or malicious intent?
