Dodgers face backlash for removing LGBTQ groups from Pride Night.

More than two dozen state lawmakers from Los Angeles County expressed disappointment with the L.A. Dodgers for uninviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an LGBTQ group, from its 10th annual Pride Night event next month. The group was set to be honored with the team’s Community Hero Award but was removed after the ballclub received backlash from conservatives, prompting the Los Angeles LGBT Center to also pull out of the event. Despite their philanthropic work, the Sisters’ use of Roman Catholic imagery in particular rankled some, including Catholic organizations and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, of Florida, who wrote a letter of complaint to Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred.
