Gay Men's Chorus and San Diego Padres

[vwl]

This link describes the sordid story:

After Billy Bean's remarks (he was the second major-league baseball player to come out) I believe it was just a mistake that quite naturally humiliated the gay men's chorus.

Why is there no announcement that the chorus will be invited back? That's an absolute must, and they don't have to wait for another Pride Day to do it!

Several of the reports I've seen include the facts that one (or two) people lost their jobs because of this "mistake". Uh huh. Are they going to can some players for strikeouts next? And I think it was SI that brought up that the members of the chorus had originally been asked to pay admission for the game. (That one evidently got overruled.)

I'm not buying the team's story.
