A visual story: capturing love at Orioles Pride Night

There's a special magic in a photo that captures your essence or that moment you share with someone else. It's all about that vibe, that feeling. For Eric Crossley and Elcides Flores, that vibe screams love. Their photo from Orioles Pride Night sparkles with joy and affection, showcasing their undeniable connection.

From Baltimore beginnings: a love story

Eric and Elcides first crossed paths eleven years ago in Baltimore, brought together by a personals ad in 2014. Eric was just starting his journey after coming out, so meeting Elcides was a turning point in his life. Their connection? Immediate and profound.

Hailing from El Salvador, Elcides balances life as a part-time chef and medium, spicing up their relationship with his culinary flair and spiritual wisdom. Eric, originally from San Francisco's Bay Area, has long been an Oakland A's fan. Now in Baltimore, he's found a new passion in rooting together with Elcides as Orioles fans.

Love that embraces family and friends

Eric sees Elcides as his true love and life partner, admiring his generous spirit. Their bond extends beyond just them—Eric's sons, daughter-in-law, and even his ex-wife have embraced Elcides warmly. "Everyone loves him," Eric proudly shares.

Eric appreciates Elcides' bold fashion sense, even if his own style leans more reserved. Their differences blend beautifully, and with a grin, Eric adds, "He thinks I'm quite handsome!"

Elcides' vibrant personality aligns perfectly with Eric's open-minded perspective, making them a lively pair. Eric values living openly, savoring every moment they have together.

Traditions and passions shared

Attending Orioles games, especially Pride Night, has become a cherished tradition. It's a special occasion that lets them celebrate their love in a supportive community. Eric shares, “Pride Night at Oriole Park gives us an incredible chance, connecting with others and expressing our pride.”

Although Elcides wasn't a baseball fan initially, he's grown fond, and now they're both dedicated supporters. "We're excited about how well things are going," Eric remarks about their favorite team, even after a tough start.

Even when times are tough on field, they're uplifted by Pride Night and its positive vibes. Eric jokingly wishes good luck only when Texas Rangers aren't playing against their Orioles!

Pride Night showcases Major League Baseball and Orioles' commitment towards LGBTQ+ community, something Eric highly appreciates.

A bright future: love and possibilities ahead

As they look towards tomorrow, Eric and Elcides are thrilled about potentially tying knot one day. Their dedication towards each other stands strong. Eric loves how both Orioles and Baltimore support LGBTQ+ community, fueling his happiness.

Their journey highlights connection's strength and celebrating genuine selves. As they continue forward, they inspire others around them in embracing love fully.
