3rdnlng Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 No gay bashing here. I think it's rather humorous and the comments are funny too. http://www.gopusa.com/?p=10283?omhide=true SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus is criticizing the San Diego Padres for mishandling the group’s scheduled performance of the national anthem. The chorus said on its Facebook page that 100 of its members gathered to perform the song before the game Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers when the Padres instead played the recorded voice of a woman singing the anthem. Their statement said no attempt was made to stop the recording and that the group received “homophobic taunts” while being escorted off the field. Chorus members called for the Padres and Major League Baseball to investigation whether anyone intentionally played a woman’s voice “with the purpose of denigrating and/or ridiculing gay men.” The Padres issued a statement Saturday night saying a mistake was made that prevented the chorus from performing and that “we apologize to anyone in the ballpark who this may have offended.” The Padres said they’d reached out to the chorus “to express our deep regret for the error.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Good grief.....................it was "Pride Night" at the stadium you would have to be pretty paranoid to think that the San Diego Padres would "deliberately" have done that. It was an error. Not everything goes as planned............adults know how to accept this. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an error. Not everything goes as planned............adults know how to accept this. . True. But they were terribly disrespected. I heard that the Padres did invite them back. Hope it goes better for everyone if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
