There’s outrage and disappointment in the Bay Area’s LGBTQ community following the Los Angeles Dodgers’ decision to disinvite The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from its Pride Night.
The Dodgers announced Wednesday that they dropped the sisters from its Pride Night and its list of honorees due to “the strong feelings of people who have been offended by the sisters.”
The decision comes just days after Senator Marco Rubio sent a letter to the MLB commissioner. Where he asks “whether the league wants to be “inclusive and welcoming” to Christians, and if so, he asks why is he allowing an MLB team to honor a group that mocks Christians through diabolical parodies of our faith." He added that “the “sisters” are men who dress in lewd imitations of roman catholic nuns.
