[the latter a reference to two lesbians being evicted from a baseball game for kissing (yes, in Calif, in 2000), when mixed-sex couples were doing the same. the baseball corporation thereafter recanted, and gave 5K tickets to homosexual groups, thereby saving themselves a major lawsuit]
Ball parks are nominally private (pace your "baseball corporation" comment)/
If a venue or site or company or piece of property is privately-owned, then all liberty-advocating persons would certainly say the owners have every right to tell lesbians and queers to stay out.

Were these arenas *not* subsidized by tax dollars, I'd agree. However its distressingly common for cities to subsidize 'professional sport' facilities these days. I suppose I should have used the more classic 'scare the horses' (on a public road) line... The point is, its up to the parents to control their kids' inputs, not the rest of the world.
