## Caption

Pride Month kicked off Monday, and social media accounts for sports teams across Chicago and professional leagues nationwide filled timelines with rainbow logos, celebratory graphics and messages supporting LGBTQ+ fans.

Yet on the North Side of Chicago, the Cubs’ accounts did not.

For some fans, the lack of a welcoming and simple message was notable.

While the Cubs continue to host an annual Pride celebration at Wrigley Field, sell Pride-themed merchandise and participate in Chicago’s Pride Parade, the team has seemingly stopped posting Pride Month messages on its main social media channels after years of doing so, prompting questions online about whether the club’s approach has changed.

The criticism isn’t that the Cubs have abandoned Pride-related programs. The team’s annual Pride Celebration returns June 15 in a game against the Colorado Rockies, featuring LGBTQ+-owned businesses, entertainment, a Pride jersey giveaway and fundraising for Center on Halsted.

But some fans say the shift away from public social media messaging stands out for a franchise that once promoted Pride Month prominently online and plays next door to Northalsted, one of the country’s most visible LGBTQ+ neighborhoods.

The White Sox, Bears, Sky and Stars have all posted on social media this week to celebrate the start of Pride Month.

While the Cubs have highlighted Pride-related events through temporary content and event promotions, the team has not appeared to make permanent Pride Month posts on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook in the way the Bears and White Sox have.
