The Dodgers are inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence back to the team's Pride Night on June 16 after receiving backlash from the LGBTQ+ community for the move.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a nonprofit organization that fundraises and volunteers to help the LGBTQ+ community. The group also dresses in drag as nuns, which is something some conservative Catholic organizations take issue with, claiming the LGBTQ+ group is "mocking" them.
The mayor of Anaheim has also invited the Sisters to be her personal guests at the Angels Pride Night on June 7. The Los Angeles LGBT Center, which pulled its own participation from the Dodgers Pride Night after the disinvitation, also put out a statement saying that they are happy with the decision to include the Sisters and they will now participate again as well.
