CatholicVote will run a TV ahead of the Dodgers game Saturday night that slams the Los Angeles team for inviting an anti-Catholic drag troupe to the team's annual Pride Night.
The Dodgers first incurred intense backlash when they invited the group last month, so they rescinded the initial invitation. But, the next day afterit would no longer be participating in Pride Night in solidarity with the drag queen group, the team re-invited the controversial troupe.
"The L.A. Dodgers' choice to honor a group that exists to mock, sexualize and pervert the teachings of the Catholic faith is wildly out of line with their tradition of inclusivity, love and their history of fighting bigotry," said Tommy Valentine, director of the Catholic Accountability Project at CatholicVote.
The Dodgers have made clear that the very"hate and disrespect" that they once denounced has now found a home in Dodgers’ stadium. The Dodgers owe all Catholics, especially those in their fan base, an apology and should immediately rescind the invitation to honor this hate group," he added.
