The Texas Rangers are the only team in Major League Baseball that do not hold events to honor Pride Month in June. The team made an attempt in 2003 by inviting several LGBTQ+ groups to their stadium and using the occasion to honor them. However, their initiative was met with an outcry of protests. Since then, they have not organized any such events.

Texas Rangers' Chief Operating Officer, Neil Leibman, spoke to The Dallas Morning News in 2020 and stated that they have since made changes in the organization to be more inclusive in hiring practices, which he believes are more meaningful than holding a Pride Night.

The Los Angeles Times also reached out to the team for a statement, and they stressed that they are committed to making everyone feel welcome and included in Rangers baseball, not just during a Pride Night but all the time.

The team pointed out various ways in which they support the LGBTQ+ community, including sponsoring the NAGAAA Gay Softball World Series and working with the Resource Center in Dallas and the Pegasus Slow-Pitch Softball Association.
