The Dodgers and pitcher Clayton Kershaw announced the team will host Christian Faith and Family Day.
The Sisters, a group of mainly men who dress as nuns, is a charity, protest and performance group founded in 1979 in San Francisco. Its Los Angeles chapter was to be honored by the Dodgers for Pride Night.
That followed a backlash from some conservative Roman Catholics and politicians, including U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who accused the group of mocking nuns and the Christian faith. However, the Dodgers' decision to disinvite the group sparked its own backlash from LGBTQIA+ groups around the country, with some deciding to pull out of Pride Night.
