Heidi N Closet Criticizes Trump DEI Rollbacks at Orioles Pride Night

Summary
Heidi N Closet used the Orioles’ Pride Night to criticize the Trump administration, saying LGBTQ+ protections and DEI efforts had been rolled back and praising Baltimore for continuing to support the queer community.
Camden Yards marked the event with prominent Pride displays, including "PRIDE" on the B&O Warehouse, a rainbow Orioles logo behind home plate, and Heidi N Closet as guest splasher at the Bird Bath section.
The remarks came as MLB has already scaled back some visible DEI branding and reviewed program language in response to federal pressure, adding a broader policy backdrop to the Orioles’ event.
Trump’s administration has defended its approach as enforcing equal-opportunity and civil-rights laws through a colorblind standard, while a 2025 executive order directed agencies to define sex as biological sex in women’s sports.
