The Los Angeles Dodgers reversed course and reinvited a group known for its queer and drag membership to its Pride Night event after it faced blowback over its last-minute exclusion.
The team was under fire for rescinding its invitation to Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. It had said the group might fracture the night's "spirit of unity.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, established in San Francisco in 1979, was expected to accept the night's Community Hero Award. He said the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence mock Catholicism and encourage"perversion" of Jesus' tenets. LA Pride did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and it had yet to post any official reactions on its social media platforms.
