Poor form by the organization.

Quote:
The San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus was invited to sing the National Anthem at the “Out at the Park” event at Petco Park and 100 volunteer members were on hand to participate. But when the moment arrived, the chorus was forced to stand on the field and listen to a recording of a woman singing the anthem instead, and the Padres never took any action to correct what the organization said was a mistake, such as allowing the chorus to perform after the recorded anthem ended.

Making matters worse, members of the chorus reported being booed and heckled as they were ushered off the field following the recorded anthem, including at least one taunt of "You sing like a girl."

Lol..."you sing like a girl". That was funny.

While I've long supporter the right to marry and that others should simply leave others to whatever makes them happy, you should be able to laugh at yourself.

Yeah, pretty funny. So long as it wasn't said to you. Then, we'd see a different reaction and a very different post from you.

Just because you don't have a sense of humor allowing you to laugh at yourself doesn't mean it's true of everyone.

Lighten up Frances.

Seems to me that the management and fans of a ball club named after catholic priests wouldn't have much room to talk.

If it was a accident its funny in a way. If not? Not so much. Its the difference between someone falling down stairs, and someone being pushed.

Odds are this one is funny.

I thought this was a joke when I saw this article earlier.

San Diego Gay Man's Chorus.

I'm all for equality, but seriously get over yourself.
