The Baltimore Orioles held their first LGBT Pride Night on June 27 and hosted close to 2,000 members of the community and their allies for an action-packed MLB baseball game. The Orioles fell to the Seattle Mariners in 11 innings by a score of 8 – 7.

On hand for the festivities were former MLB player Billy Bean and former MLB umpire Dale Scott, both of whom are openly gay. A portion of the proceeds from the event were donated to Moveable Feast which provides food and services to individuals suffering from HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, and those afflicted with terminal illness.
