Take Me OUT to the Ballpark

On a late summer evening, a mother of three, an emergency room nurse, a University of Notre Dame graduate, the son of the first black player to play for the Chicago White Sox and a board member - all went to a baseball game to watch their favorite team battle it out, along with 30,000 other fans. Just another night at the ballpark with a few fans who love the game like everyone else. Nothing so different or unusual at all, except these fans are gay fans. The team and a group called Equality Illinois sponsored a night at the park, just like many other organizations - police, fire and churches do throughout the season.
