Christian Players for SF Giants Take Bold, Visible Stand Against ‘Pride Month’ and the LGBT Crowd’s Theft of the Rainbow
At 29-43 overall, the San Francisco Giants have endured a difficult season on the diamond. Nonetheless, an impressive number of Giants pitchers have their priorities in order.
During Friday’s 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs in San Francisco, multiple Giants pitchers, including starter Landen Roupp, reportedly made some sort of Christian protest against the organization’s pagan “pride night.”
Roupp headlined the protest by writing “Genesis 9:12-16” on his rainbow-themed “pride” hat. In those verses, God pledged the rainbow as “a sign of the covenant between me and the earth” that “the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.”
When asked about it after the game, the starting pitcher calmly stood his ground.
“The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant to us, and us as believers stand firm in that,” Roupp told reporters in a clip posted to the social media platform X. “There’s no hate at all.”
Later, when asked what he would say to those who found the verses “derogatory” toward the LGBT community, Roupp again gave a strong answer.
“As a believer, I would push them to read the Bible,” he said.
“God has blessed me in so many ways. And I don’t think I’d be here right now if it wasn’t for Him. So, like I said, there’s no hate in it at all.”
