Among the festivities planned by the Red Sox are the national anthem performed by the New Hampshire Gay Men's Chorus, who celebrate their 25th year. Members of OUTVETS, New England's first LGBTQ veterans' organization, will fly the colors. Celebrity DJ and Peloton instructor Jess King will throw the ceremonial first pitch.
The club will fly the Intersex Progress Pride flag at the ballpark throughout Tuesday.
