The Texas Rangers have frustrated LGBTQ+ advocates for years as the only Major League Baseball team without a Pride Night.
Sports – Rafael McDonnell sometimes gets to address the staff of his beloved Texas Rangers on issues of diversity and inclusion through his role with the Resource Center, one of the leading LGBTQ+ organizations in the Dallas area.— the June celebration of LGBTQ+ culture and rights — comes and goes again without the Rangers participating, McDonnell tried to explain the connection between his group and the team he has loved and watched for the better part of 50 years.
While he has continuing conversations with members of the Rangers staff, McDonnell says he doesn’t recall any since the five-game victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in last year’s Fall Classic. At the same time, McDonnell and Johannessen say the catalyst for change might have to be new ownership. Johannessen said he hasn’t requested to speak with majority owner Ray C. Davis to discuss Pride.
Lockhart was wearing a No. 91 Tyler Seguin Pride jersey that had been worn during warmups in a previous year and was signed by the Stars forward. The Stars logo on the front was in rainbow colors. Will Davis — a Rangers fan from Marble Falls, about 200 miles southwest of the stadium in Central Texas — does see it as a political issue. He attended a recent game with his son's youth baseball team.
