Heidi N Closet, a former contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race, has brought hope and visibility to the Baltimore Orioles’ Pride Night celebration at Camden Yards. The event, which featured multiple generations of queer people celebrating openly in the same space, highlighted the progress made by the LGBTQIA+ community despite recent controversies surrounding Pride events in baseball. Closet said that seeing an organization like the Orioles choosing to stand with the community brought a little hope, and attendees agreed that such events are crucial for ensuring the community remains visible in uncertain times. The event featured rainbow-themed jerseys, Pride flags, and a guest splasher who spent time meeting fans and walking the concourse before taking over the Bird Bath hose.
