The LGBT community is up in arms after the St. Louis Cardinals refused to back down after taking a massive stand for Christianity.
The team’s “Christian Day” event this year features former player Lance Berkman, former Cardinals All-Star Outfielder.
Berkman, a Christian, was criticized when in 2015 he spoke out against transgender bathrooms. The LGBT community branded Berkman a homophobe over his opposition to a Houston city ordinance that would allow individuals to choose bathrooms based on their gender identity rather than their biological sex.
In an interview with The Houston Chronicle at the time, Berkman said that “Tolerance is the virtue that’s killing this country.”
A spokesman for the PrideCenter of St. Louis Pride released a statement expressing his displeasure with the invitation to Berkman.
“Pride St. Louis is disappointed by the decision of the St. Louis Cardinals to provide a public platform for Berkman, an individual whose words and actions towards the LGBTQ+ are divisive and demeaning,” the statement said.
