Dodgers to Host Controversial Pride Night with Drag Nuns in Attendance

The Los Angeles Dodgers will host their annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night at Dodger Stadium on Friday, which includes honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of self-described "queer and trans nuns." The decision has drawn criticism from the Catholic Church and Christian organizations. The Dodgers initially withdrew the group's invitation but later apologized and invited them back. The team will also host a "Christian Faith and Family Day" in July. Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez plans to dedicate a Mass on Friday "for healing due to the harm caused by the Dodgers decision to honor a group that intentionally denigrates and profanes the Christian faith."
