Protests and Pride collide at Dodgers Stadium.

Protesters gathered at the main entrance of Dodger Stadium on Friday to demonstrate against the appearance of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a drag queen group dressed as nuns, who were to receive an award on LGBTQ+ Pride Night. The group has been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ rights activism for decades, but their appearance infuriated many conservative Catholics, even at the highest levels of the U.S. hierarchy. The Dodgers initially invited, then disinvited, then re-invited the Sisters to the event, prompting a backlash from both sides. Despite the protests, the Sisters were awarded a Community Hero Award at a brief on-field ceremony held before the Dodgers game against the San Francisco Giants.
