Roma wasn\u2019t having it.&nbsp; \u201cI am so disappointed that anti-LGBTQ sentiments and homophobia have been revealed, right here in San Francisco, of all place.&nbsp; Our community has always considered this place home and served as a beacon to queer and trans people around the world.&nbsp; The refusal to acknowledge and support Pride sent a very strong message.&nbsp; These players wanted the community to know they do not support them, they do not respect them, and they are not welcome on the very night that was designed to celebrate them.\u201d&nbsp; But here was the part that got me: \u201cThe <em>Giants <\/em>organization has refused to address this further and suggests that fans \u2018move on\u2019.&nbsp; Well, that doesn\u2019t fly in San Francisco.&nbsp; This lack of accountability and support cuts deep with the LGBTQ <em>Giants <\/em>fans and our community at large.&nbsp; Unfortunately many fans will indeed move on \u2013 away from supporting the team they love \u2013 but I don\u2019t think this will go away any time soon.&nbsp; Until the <em>Giants <\/em>come out with a strong message in support of the LGBTQ community, I don\u2019t think they will be welcome at Pride.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, there have been rumors about Jared Leto.&nbsp;
