The richest team in baseball might just be the gayest too.

Here's proof of the sponsorship:

That's the Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the premier athletic teams in the world, sponsoring an event which honored a man who stole trophies from women.

The Galaxy also sponsored the event, but they're a soccer club, so they get a pass.

Thomas received the Voice of Inspiration Award at the Rainbow Labs Violet Visionary Awards on Thursday.

Here's Rainbow Labs:

Lia made history in 2022 as the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I national championship. Beyond her groundbreaking achievements in the pool, Lia has become a powerful voice for inclusion and fairness in sports, inspiring LGBTQ+ youth and communities nationwide.

"Fairness."

Here's how Rainbow Labs describes the award:

The Voice of Inspiration Award honors an individual whose story and actions ignite hope and courage within the LGBTQ+ community.

Hope and courage within the LGBTQ+ community.

Despair and fearfulness within the female community.
