Dodgers spark controversy by uninviting LGBTQ+ charity from Pride Night

TL;DR Summary
Several LGBTQ+ groups have withdrawn from the Los Angeles Dodgers' Pride Night after the team disinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a legendary LGBTQ+ charity and protest group. The Dodgers rescinded the group's community hero award after receiving letters from Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and the Catholic League, who presume the Sisters to be anti-Catholic due to their use of habits in their work. The Dodgers did not mention the letters in their statement announcing the removal of the Sisters. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have released a statement saying they will continue to serve and uplift their community.
