Landen Roupp is a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, a team that, like most other professional sports teams, promotes the LGBT agenda during various “Pride” time periods, like the month of June.
Those teams often have their players wear “rainbow” emblems, an image taken over by the homosexual community in its claims to promote inclusiveness.
But Roupp dropped a truth bomb on the scheme.
He wrote a Bible verse next to his team’s rainbow logo on his cap, and urged the gay community to read the Bible.
According to a report at the Daily Mail, “Roupp, 27, wrote ‘Genesis 9:12-16’ in silver pen on his black cap next to the rainbow logo, a verse where God creates a rainbow to signal his ‘everlasting covenant’ with Noah, all living creatures, and the earth and vowing never to create a great flood again.”
“It’s just about God’s covenant and a promise that he makes to us that, you know, his faithfulness and his mercy,” he explained. “That’s just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I’m thankful we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want … and express what we want.”
Why was it important to write that verse tonight?
ROUPP: “The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant to us, and us as believers stand firm in that… There’s no hate at all.”
What would say if somebody considered that derogatory toward them as a community?

He added, “Kind of what the verse says, you know, the rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant to us, and us as believers to stand firm in that. … There’s no hate at all.”
He recognized there may be those who claim to be offended by his beliefs.
“First of all, as a believer, I would push them to read the Bible,” he said. “I think God has blessed me in so many ways, and I don’t think I would be here right now if it wasn’t for him. So, like I said, there’s no hate in it at all, you know, like I said, we live in a country where you’re welcome to believe what you want.”
It’s not the first time a player hasn’t adopted a team’s rainbow agenda.
Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen didn’t wear a rainbow logo for his team’s LGBT fest, and last season, the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw referenced the same Bible verse as Roupp did.
Other players have made similar statements.
