Breaking: Major League Baseball To Use All-Star Game To Make Major Pro-LGBT Announcement

Major League Baseball will use Tuesday’s All-Star game to make a major pro-LGBT announcement about homophobia in the sport. 

Just before Tuesday night’s All-Star game in Minneapolis, Major League Baseball will make a major announcement about homophobia in baseball. 

Outsports co-founder Cyd Zeigler is reporting that tomorrow’s announcement “will dramatically shift” MLB’s “ability to combat homophobia and help gay players, coaches and staff in the League.”

A year ago, MLB adopted a new workplace code of conduct that protects players and staff from anti-LGBT harassment. “We welcome all individuals regardless of sexual orientation into our ballparks, along with those of different races, religions, genders and national origins,” MLB commissioner Bud Selig said at the time.

In 2011, MLB added sexual orientation to it’s [sic] non-discrimination policy as part of their labor deal with the players union.

It is unknown if Commissioner Bud Selig will make the announcement himself.
