Dear season ticket holders who wish to sell their tickets for LGBT Pride Night, Everybody is entitled to their own beliefs and as long as nobody is getting hurt, I’m happy. I also can’t stop you from selling your tickets. I won’t tell you that you are wrong or that you are not allowed to think or act that way.

So, A’s fans; if attending a baseball game on LGBT Pride Night makes you at all uncomfortable, it is probably a good idea to sell your tickets. And I have the perfect buyer. ME!

Thank you all for supporting this effort. Since posting this, the response has been (unsurprisingly) overwhelmingly positive. Many have offered to donate their tickets for this effort, and others have offered to donate money to buy tickets. My boyfriend, Oakland A’s pitcher Sean Doolittle, has agreed to match any tickets I purchase. And we also started a GoFundMe account to collect donations to fill the stands at this game. You can donate here. Sean and I will match donations up to $3000. We will use the donations to buy tickets to the 6/17 Pride Night game and donate them to Our Space LGBTQI Community Center for teens and young adults. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Please tweet at me (@EireannDolan) if you’d like to sell me your tickets. I’ll purchase as many unwanted tickets as I can out of my own pocket. I also encourage other A’s fans to do the same. Let’s fill the stands that night! Love, Eireann and my hella gay moms

When the Oakland Athletics announced their LGBT Pride Night at the coliseum, quite a few season ticket holders made it known, on social media, that they didn't feel comfortable and would like to sell their tickets–that's basically what they said. Oakland Athletics' closer Sean Doolittle and his girlfriend Eireann Dolan, decided to do something about it. From Eireann's blog: Her and Sean Doolittle said they would buy as many tickets as they could (face value). They would find homes for the tickets with different charitable organizations and try to fill the stadium. Things took off and she had to update her post.Her sign off, a diamond classic.Peanuts and applejacks!
