Members of San Antonio's LGBTQ+ community praised the Spurs for their stance, which came as many conservatives say they are boycotting businesses for being"woke" in their support of Pride Month and protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
The Spurs support of Pride Month comes as Republican-dominated statehouses across the country have either passed or sought a wave of new laws restricting LGBTQ+ rights this year. Texas has become"one of the most dangerous and hostile places for transgender youth and transgender people and their families in America,” Andrea Segovia, senior field and policy adviser of the Transgender Education Network of Texas, told reporters in February, according to the Texas Tribune.
In the midst of the rollback of LGBTQ+ rights, the Spurs, who have hosted Pride Nights at the AT&T Center the last two seasons, are again showing their support for the LGBTQ+ community.
