Dodgers' Pride Night marred by controversy and disinvitations.
TL;DR Summary
LA Pride has withdrawn from the annual Pride Night hosted by the Dodgers after the team disinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a non-profit drag group, from the event amid opposition from conservative Catholics. The group was set to receive an award during a ceremony before a 16 June game against the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers' decision was criticized by LGBTQ+ advocates, while conservative Catholic groups argued that the group was "rewarding anti-Catholicism". The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence said they were "offended and outraged" by the team's decision.
