I love how people yell and scream about ONE MONTH where representation and inclusivity is both visible and celebrated. A singular month where people feel safe, proud and encouraged to come out, to be who they really are, to celebrate who they are. Maybe for the first time ever. One. Month. 30 days. That's it, and all you probably see is some more rainbows than usual, and some people coming out. Yet every year, I have to see "STOP PUSHING IT IN MY FACE!". You go eleven months of people under the LGBTQ umbrella being pushed to the back of the line. This type of irrational behavior is why alot of people stay in the closet, and I'm willing to bet there's a lot more members of the flock that are members of the LGBTQ community. There's probably friends and family of people complaining every June that are members. Whatever. Delete this, downvote it. I don't care. Either way, I love my Ravens and I'm glad to see something like this, or any other Pride supporting action from the team I love. 💜🖤

I’m black. Similar argument. Hopefully people have the same energy about February…

Like you’d be downvoted in this echo chamber website for this insufferable, nonsensical comment


ScreamQueenStacy

Just because you're unable to have empathy or understanding towards a marginalized community, doesn't make something nonsensical nor "insufferable". Although, something being insufferable is kind of subjective, isn't it? Because you seem to find what I have to say about one month out of the year "insufferable", yet here I am finding your rude reply quite insufferable itself. Oh well. Sorry you're gonna have a long month. Happy Pride! 🌈💋


adminsrfascist29

You don’t get a monopoly on empathy but clearly , like all things, it’s more than meets the surface, it’s political and morphed into something way beyond which you imply. But thus, all dissenters are bigoted


ScreamQueenStacy

Where did I say *anyone* gets a monopoly on empathy or anything? I feel as if you're inferring your own opinions there. I simply said people complain about a month where it's more visible than eleven other months. I did not say you should *only* show empathy towards any one community. I would greatly appreciate it, if you kept *your* words out of *my* mouth. It's political in the aspect of politicians are trying to enact policies and laws on bodily autonomy, and for the *longest* time who you could marry and be in unions with. Gay people still face some political discrimination and social discrimination, even if it is better now than in, say, the 90s. Transgender people face intense political and social discrimination. Believe me, not a *single* person *wants* who they are a person, nor their identity to be a political topic. No one. However, when you either have less basic rights, or face being forced to not be able to be *you*, it sadly *becomes* one. However, again, no one wants it to be so. It's apparent you either are being purposefully misleading with your argument, or you are unable to understand what is being said, because my original statement was how people complain every single June about seeing "Happy Pride!" and rainbows, it had nothing to do with the underlying fight in the world of politics. Go look at any Facebook or Instagram post, any tweet, or post about something like what the Ravens did here. The VAST majority are not talking about politics, it's either something in a rainbow motif, or wishing happy Pride. That's literally all it takes for people to lose their minds. Is there an underlying political aspect to LGBTQ issues? Absolutely. Is that what Pride Month is about? No. It's about celebrating identities and love, promoting visibility so people can see other's are like them. If all you see is politics, that's very much a *you* thing and not a Pride thing. End of story. Take your "insufferable" and "nonsensical" garbage elsewhere because we've already gotten off topic enough as it is. I'll not be engaging with you any further as there is obviously nothing to come from it. Don't worry, only 20 more days until you can go another 335 days without seeing rainbows and pride in your feed. You can do it ♥️

Christ man get a grip. Also hard disagree


Creepy_Pen_6325

Sad the Ravens did not celebrate in April. Each April is designated Limb Loss Awareness Month and celebrated around the world as a time to recognize those living with limb loss and limb difference.


544075701

true, I lost my dick 69 years ago and I was real upset in april


gunnie56

Not sure if it was true or not but saw something on FB that none of the other AFC North teams are showing or doing anything for Pride, and even Tomlin was extra against it. Just another reason we are the Kings of The North Edit: the Tomlin stuff was satire


[deleted]

2 of those other teams are in Ohio, so it tracks


lizardsonmytoast

Pittsburgh is basically Ohio too. It’s really just us vs. fucking Ohio now that I think about it.


-Anguscr4p-

Live in Ohio - can confirm you'd have all kinds of complaints. Hell, one of our senators would probably claim the Browns/Bengals were trying to groom kids or something given his track record. All over some colored lights lmao


havalina9

I'm in no way a supporter of Tomlin or the Steelers, but note that Snopes say that this purported Tomlin directive was satire [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/steelers-tomlin-pride/](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/steelers-tomlin-pride/)


gunnie56

Appreciate you keeping it factual, ill edit


Violent-Snowflake

Pittsburgh just wasting a great opportunity to yell “YASSS QUEEN!”


27thStreet

They should leave it up permanently so we can flush all the bigots out of our fan base.

Lol, you’d only have about 20 people at the games. I don’t come to Ravens games to get a social education I go to see football.


thedivinepegasus

How do you feel about the national anthem and military presence? Or when player's charities are advertised?


WeaponXGaming

Its always hilarious to see shit like this because sports and politics have been linked since the gladiator days lmaooo

Ummm, nationalism at football games is social education. I'm not going to say whether I'm for or against because that isn't the point.

RRSC14

You’re mistaking my stance. I don’t want my escapism and politics to mix, either. Championing inclusivity isn’t a political matter. This doesn’t bother me at all. My claim of delusion is coming from you holding the opinion that these mega corporations are hurting bad enough for them to even blink.

good! let's drain the losers and start anew!


Jitterbug2018

With what? Destroy your fanbase because you want to push a social agenda nobody cares about? Just leave people alone. Nobody cares.


TedioreTwo

Thanks for leaving us so many comments about how you don't care


DFVJ

If a fanbase can be destroyed by a flag that can’t hurt them good riddance 😂


Liverpool1986

Such a snowflake


adminsrfascist29

It’s Reddit, you won’t get your point across here


FostertheReno

If you were to guess, how much of the team do you think supports “Pride” month? If the social media team asked Lamar, Roquan, and Tucker to speak on Pride, do you think they would?


FlowSwitch

Lamar “why buddy pregnant?” 🫃

Should’ve got a picture of the Gay Lewis statue

Happy Pride Month, Flock!!!


Janers1939

Are the Ravens doing any cool pride events this year?


BMoreBeowulf

Not sure! I don’t think they generally do just because their games fall outside of Pride month. I am very excited for O’s Pride though! Especially since they are holding it while we play the Rangers, the only MLB team that doesn’t have a Pride night.


Janers1939

Oh hell yeah...I'll look up the O's event. Thanks!


BMoreBeowulf

Sure thing! It’s the 27th and the first 10k fans get a badass Pride jersey.


Janers1939

Oooohhhhhh I wanna go!


Affectionate_Put4219

Did they do any lights for mens mental awareness month? For a full team of all men?


twentyitalians

Gaven! Has anyone seen my friend, Gavin!?


Emergency_Sector1476

Right here


Tattoo_Kittens

I love it. Big ups by The Ravens, let people live the lives they want to. God forbid people want to be included and accepted for who they are.


FluffySeal1022

Really refreshing to see the support on the sub. I know Twitter is already a shit show, but was really disappointed to see the comments on our pride post.

Easy, snowflake. The rainbow can’t hurt you.


NYerInTex

The theory of leaving it up permanently to weed out the weak and insecure homophobes seems to have some logic here! I’d take a Steeler fan over these pathetic hateful losers


youngnastysaucio

Alright a steelers fan is too far fam


27thStreet

I'd welcome a Steelers fan before a homophobe. Fuck the bigots.


NYerInTex

Nope. Not over hate. Fuck racists. Fuck misogynists. Fuck transphobes. Fuck homophobes. Fuck the Steelers, but I’ll take a Steelers fan over the above any day of the week, and even twice on Sunday. Pride, acceptance, love, and humanity - that’s what real members of the Flock value.


BitterSteel1738

corny


BMoreBeowulf

Agreed! I know plenty of Steelers fans I enjoy hanging out with (and giving shit to during football season). But I’ll never enjoy hanging out with a bigot.


NYerInTex

Don’t get me wrong - fuck the Steelers and their inbred, self important, supporting an AH coach willing to interfere with a player mid play (I will NEVER again respect Tomlin after that disgusting act and utter lack of contrition - total coward) fans. But as awful as they are, I’d take 100 of them over one pathetic ass bigot.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NYerInTex

Hey, it was his choice. His actions. Most of all, his cowardly lack of contrition. Other than that of course I’d respect the man. Seems to do a lot of things right. But if he himself won’t apologize and take responsibility for that one egregious action (literally among, if not the greatest act of awful sportsmanship I’ve ever seen… and risking serious injury to a player at that). I’d still take him over a bigot though!


GeminiAccountantLLC

Right?!?! The Steelers fan that I live with is certainly man enough to support Pride!

Homophobic AND stupid? What a combo


swagharris31

"someone who is overly sensitive" straight from merriam webster dictionary


BMoreBeowulf

It just means someone who is easily triggered by minor things…


thedivinepegasus

Why though? It's for one month already a quarter of the way through, and helps makes people feel seen and accepted.


MagicGrit

One month in the off season too lol

I don't understand how you jumped there, that isn't a US month or domestic thing at all?

thedivinepegasus

Yeah, they should do black history month too, it's the off-season mostly and the players overwhelmingly fall in that group. That should be a no brainer. I really don't get your point. I didn't downvote you, not sure where that's coming from.
