Baseball teams stand up to anti-LGBTQ+ bullying on Spirit Day

Several baseball teams across the US have affirmed their commitment to trans and non-binary people as part of Spirit Day celebrations aimed at combatting anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.

Sporting teams and organisations, including the San Francisco Giants, the New York Mets, the Texas Rangers, and the Cincinnati Reds, wore purple clothing as part of their vow to stand against bullying based on gender identity, in posts on X/Twitter on Thursday (17 October).

A spokesperson for the San Francisco side wrote: “Spirit Day is a time to stand against bullying and show support for LGBTQ+ youth, especially trans and non-binary youth, who all deserve a safe and accepting world. The SF Giants are proud to come together, wear purple, and spread a message of kindness, inclusion, and belonging for all.”
