The Los Angeles Dodgers announced it would bring back “Christian Faith and Family Day” after flip-flopping on its invitation to controversial drag group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Star pitcher Clayton Kershaw publicized the faith-themed July 30 eventThe announcement came after controversy over the team’s decision to invite, then uninvite and then re-invite the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — a drag group that raises money for LGBTQ+ causes — to its Pride Night on June 16.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence show their support during the gay pride parade in West Hollywood, Calif. on June 12, 2016. The Los Angeles Dodgers initially removed a satirical LGBTQ+ group from the team’s annual Pride Night after opposition from conservative Catholic groups. The team then re-invited the group after getting backlash.
CatholicVote President Brian Burch alleged the Sisters of Indulgence was “engaged in some of the most detestable and vile behavior.”
