Dodgers face backlash over decision on LGBTQ 'nun' group for Pride Night.

TL;DR Summary
Several LGBTQ+ groups, including the Los Angeles LGBT Center and LA Pride, will not participate in the Los Angeles Dodgers' annual Pride Night after the team announced it would no longer honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence with a community service award due to pressure from the Catholic League and Sen. Marco Rubio. The group, which advocates for LGBTQ+ rights and fundraises for queer causes, often dresses in brightly colored habits and cloaks and includes straight, gay, and nonbinary members. The Dodgers have a history of being welcoming to gay fans, but their decision has sparked backlash and disappointment from the LGBTQ+ community.
