Tonight is an event that Miss Ginger is pretty sure is a first for Houston, if not the world! "Pride in the Park" is a fund-raising event that will take place at a Major League Baseball game! Has that been done in any other cities?
A block of seats at Minute Maid Park (formerly Enron Field- scary, huh?) has been reserved for the event! Miss Ginger doesn't know a thing about baseball, but Boy G at least kinda knows the rules, and Legacy and Bunnies are among the beneficiaries, so he's gonna go give it a look-see. Minute Maid part is fun, and Boy G can always fit beer and boys in tight pants into his day!
EVERYONE whose ANYONE is gonna be there! The Gay Men's Chorus is singing the National Anthem, and our own Mayor Annise Parker is throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. I'm told Mayor A has quite the fastball!
Should be lots of fun. It's a shame the Astros don't play better!

The SF Giants have had an LGBT day for a number of years. I wondered when other cities would start having one also.
Hey Girl - Have fun! The Phillies, Nationals, Padres and Cubs have also had "nights out at the park" type events. Cool! And then last year at the Giants night... http://houseoflemay.blog-city.com/drag_queen_sings_anthem_at_major_league_baseball_game.htm.
My "friend" Bob is an events announcer at the Vermont Lake Monsters Single A games... he hasn't asked me to go in his place... yet.
I wish the Yankees and/or the Mets did this - I LOVE baseball (it's the only sport I follow - lots of hot Papis!). I would go in a hot second - besides I adore stadium hot dogs and beer.
XOXOXOXOXO
The Phillies have done something very similar a few years back like this, and it got a huge reception. And I agree sweetie, it is hard to pass up men in tight pants ball chasing! I always get so worked up I forget which quarter were in!!!! Boy-Toy loves my knowledge of baseball.
Hope you have a fabulous time.
