Our statement regarding MLS NEXT Pro and their handling of a recent disciplinary issue.

09/20/2026

We stand in full solidarity with the Professional Soccer Referees Association (PSRA) in condemning the recent physical intimidation and sexist abuse directed at a match official by an MLS NEXT Pro head coach.

Forcefully grabbing an official and declaring "this is a man's game" has zero place in our sport.

Women make every level of soccer better. They deserve dignity, safety, and respect, not slaps on the wrist for those who intimidate them.

MLS NEXT Pro: do better to protect your officials, demand proper treatment of women in our sport, and enforce real accountability.

Today’s Supreme Court decision against transgender athletes hit us hard. It feels personal because it targets people who deserve joy, community, and the chance to compete without being treated like a problem to solve. We’re hurting, and we’re angry, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise.

Trans athletes belong in sports. They belong on teams. They belong in the stands. They belong in every space where people come together to play, grow, and support each other. This ruling tries to push them out, and we refuse to let that stand.

We are raising our voices because silence helps no one. We are standing with our trans family because that is what solidarity looks like. If you feel this in your chest the way we do, stay loud. Stay present. Stay committed. Change happens when people refuse to look away.

Juneteenth is a day to step back, listen, and honor a freedom that was fought for long after it should have been guaranteed. But, we don’t center ourselves today, we show up with respect. We show up with humility. We show up knowing that solidarity means doing the work, not claiming the spotlight.

Juneteenth is a reminder that liberation was delayed by design, and that the struggle for true freedom didn’t end in 1865. It’s carried forward by Black communities who kept pushing when the country tried to look away. Our role is to stand with that truth, not soften it.

We celebrate the joy. We honor the resilience. We commit to the work that’s ours to do.

Hats low. Stance firm. We stand in solidarity.

June is a reminder that LGBTQ+ visibility is not a gift handed down by power. It’s something people fought for, bled for, and refused to surrender. This month marks the legacy of those who stood their ground when the world tried to push them into the shadows.

We honor that fight by carrying it forward. We show up loud. We show up unshaken. We show up knowing that every person deserves to exist without fear, without apology, and without being told to shrink.

Pride is not decoration. Pride is defiance. Pride is choosing to live in full color when the world keeps trying to dim the lights.

The hats stay low.
The stance stays firm.
The BHB stands with everyone who refuses to be erased.
