Portland Timbers banners preach ‘Love is a human experience’ on Pride Day

And while the Portland Timbers couldn’t attend a Gay Pride Parade — as the squad had a game against the Houston Dynamo — they celebrated in their own way. As the national anthem ended, the Timbers fans raised up banners that read “Love is a human experience not a political statement,” displayed across three giant rainbow flags.
