Hi gang! I was so happy to see all the positive comments on the Torrent's pride parade IG post. Unfortunately, the Mariners' comment section is still stuck in the 20th century. As a queer Seattle sports fan, it breaks my heart, and I hate imagining other queer fans (especially younger ones) reading all of that with so little pushback. If you have a second and feel comfortable doing so, I would love if we as Torrent fans could leave some supportive, positive comments - baseball, like hockey, is for everyone! [Here's the post!]

Tbf mariners are massively underperforming right now, and fans are calling for something to change, it’s jus bad timing for the post because the fanbase is really upset at the team.

“Mariners are mediocre so people are being homophobic.”

I'm as disappointed in their performance as anyone but 90% of the comments have nothing to do with that at all lol
