Pride and Prejudice

<p>We’ve got a position player pitching! Patti is out with the plague which counts as down by 6 runs, so West Coast Correspondent Deborah joins Pottymouth and her Jamesons-spiked coffee for this week’s show.</p><p>We give a rundown on notable Pride month actions including <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/rays-celebrate-pride-night-with-custom-uniforms">Tampa Bay</a> using the Progress Pride symbol (which is inclusive of black and brown and trans people) but leaving it to an “individual decision by players” as to wearing it or not. The Dodgers celebrate their 9th <a href="https://www.outsports.com/2022/6/1/23142149/mlb-lgbtq-pride-nights-baseball-rainbow-caps-progress-flags-glenn-burke">Glenn Burke Day</a>, wearing pride hats on the field for the first time.  On June 11th, for Pride Day at Oracle Park, the Giants and Dodgers will be the first teams to<a href="https://sfist.com/2022/05/10/otherwise-despicable-la-dodgers-will-join-giants-in-wearing-pride-logos-for-pride-night-game/"> jointly wear their progress pride hats on the field at same time</a>. The Blue Jays get a nod for availability of gender-neutral bathrooms and donations to a local organization working with their staff on diversity and inclusion. Again the Yankees say “We don’t do any theme nights” and the Texas Rangers are silent.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Ohio’s GOP-led house snuck language mandating a <a href="https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2022/06/03/gop-passes-bill-aiming-to-root-out-suspected-transgender-female-athletes-with-genital-inspection/">verification process for “suspected” trans athletes</a> into an unrelated bill. This subjects any school athlete suspected of being trans to an external and internal examination. This horrific proposal affects everyone and could happen anywhere. It's everyone's responsibility to fight it so vote accordingly. Let the kids play.</p><p>Patti’s Nats bf Lane Thomas has a 3 home run game, and former bf <a href="https://twitter.com/fishstripes/status/1530662353091567616?s=20&amp;t=wsJd9sdlu9EfR8-F1kvmbw">Wil
