With Pride Month wrapping up, CBS’ Stephen Colbert noted several sports organizations expressed their support. Colbert: “NASCAR tweeted ‘YASCAR’ for the launch of their Pride Month T-shirts. Good for NASCAR, though I got to say, NASCAR’s actual logo, already pretty gay. Of course, not all NASCAR fans are on board with it, with one tweeting, ‘no longer a fan of nascar after I saw this.’ Well, if you’re upset about NASCAR being gay-friendly, wait 'til you hear what RuPaul did to drag racing.” Colbert also noted FIFA has “issued a warning to Qatar World Cup hotels over LGBTQ discrimination, saying establishments are ‘required to welcome guests in a ‘non-discriminatory’ manner or face termination of contracts.’” Colbert: “You know you suck when the voice of morality is FIFA. That is like getting lectured on tolerance by Mel Gibson” ( “The Late Show,” CBS, 6/30).
