A legal victory this morning, a cultural victory in pro sports this weekend:

During the Mariners game Sunday against the Chicago Cubs, Safeco Field will fly the rainbow Pride flag, said Adam McRoberts, spokesman for Seattle Out & Proud. It will make Major League Baseball history as the first MLB team to publicly fly the Pride flag at a game. The Mariners game coincides with the 39th annual Seattle Pride Parade, which is celebrating “Equality: Passed, Present & Future.”

THANK YOU, MARINERS! THIS IS GAYTASTIC!!!! Praise where it's due: You can send the Mariners a thank-you note here.
