The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will be participating at LA Dodgers’ Pride Night after the baseball team received backlash from queer organizations for disinviting the charity group
On Monday evening, the baseball team shared a statement on Twitter in which it apologized to the drag nun charity for removing them from the event after Marco Rubio and other conservatives expressed their dislike for the organization.
“After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the+ community and their friends and families,” the team wrote in a statement adorned by the club’s logo in the colors of the Pride flag.
“We have asked the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16th,” the statement continued. “We are pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades.”
