The Controversial Role of Drag Nuns in LGBTQ+ Events and Catholicism.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of drag nuns who advocate for care and community service, were disinvited and then re-invited to the annual LGBTQ Pride Night at Dodger Stadium after pressure from conservative media and religious groups. The group, which began organizing in the 1970s to support people with HIV/AIDS, hosts events featuring drag personas and holds popular bingo nights to raise funds for local organizations. Backlash against the Sisters has intensified with the re-issued Pride Night invitation from the Dodgers, but the group remains committed to uplifting their local communities and breaking down barriers.
