DeSantis spreads false claim about Dodgers stadium during Pride Night.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis claimed that the LA Dodgers stadium was "virtually empty" during the team's LGBTQ+ Pride Night game, which featured the controversial Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. However, the game actually had higher-than-average attendance, with 49,074 people in attendance. Religious groups protested outside the stadium, but the satirical group was given a community activism award. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence thanked those who supported them in a statement on their website.

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.

Freddie Freeman leads Dodgers to victory over Braves.

The Dodgers apologized and re-invited The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to their June 16 LGBTQ+ Pride Night. Meanwhile, Trayce Thompson's lack of production and tenuous hold on a roster spot was discussed, and Julio Urías' eligibility for the middle game of a three-game series against the Yankees at Dodger Stadium could be informed by a bullpen session. Additionally, Freddie Freeman compared last year and this year's trips to Atlanta, and Jay Jaffe at FanGraphs took stock of the depleted Dodgers rotation and last week's hellish run.
