The Dodgers won't honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence during their LGBTQ+ Pride Night next month as they'd originally planned to do. Here's why.
“No other religion would be treated this way — and if the Dodgers truly care about fighting bigotry and promoting inclusivity, they will retract their invite to this disgusting, offensive and dangerous hate group,” Burch said in a statement.It’s not the first time the team — and Major League Baseball — has responded to public opinion.
“Baseball has always been tied to our nation’s values, at the heart of which is faith in God. It would be an outrage and a tragedy if the MLB, in pursuit of modern, secular, and indeed anti-religious ‘values,’ rebuked that faith and the millions of believing fans who cherish the sport.”that he had written to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred about “this outrageous insult to Catholics” and listed Manfred’s email address online.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence began as three men dressed as nuns in habits in 1979 in San Francisco’s Castro District. Their first fundraiser earned $1,500 for San Francisco’s Metropolitan Community Church Cuban Refugee Program.
