Padres’ park sponsor expands efforts in wake of Friar’s folly

“Stereotypes about crazy cat ladies and men with small dogs aside, Petco has long been a supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights,” said Sally Stopgap at a press conference this week announcing the company’s decision to champion the rights of furries in the wake of the Swinging Friar’s controversial comments. “For years, our Pride Collection of pet products has donated a portion of is profits to the anti-queer-suicide group The Trevor Project. And we don’t want that support to be overshadowed by one rogue operator who happens to represent the baseball team that plays in our stadium. In fact, his actions have spurred us to ask what more we can do. Supporting furries, a widely misunderstood and mocked group, seemed like a natural step. Maybe there’s not a paw print on the Pride Flag yet, but this Pride Month, you can be sure that there will be a Pride Flag on our logo’s doggie and kitty.”
