#LosAngeles #Dodgers remove #gay ‘#nun’ #group from #PrideNight.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have removed a #satirical #LGBTQ+ #group called #TheSistersofPerpetualIndulgence from the team’s annual #PrideNight after opposition from #Homophobic #conservative #Catholic #bigots.
Column: #PrideNight #fiasco shows #Dodgers no longer have the #backbone to be #social #TrailBlazers
Imagine if #StanKasten was the president of the #Dodgers when #JackieRobinson was about to break #baseball’s #colorbarrier. Kasten might have sent Robinson back to the #minorleagues, citing the “#strongfeelings of the people who have been offended” by Robinson’s inclusion on the roster.
They’re just another blood-sucking business.

The #Dodgers '#Caved' to #FarRight #Homophobes, Says #SisterRoma.
After outcry from the #CatholicLeague and Sen. #MarcoRubio — who called the Sisters an “#antiCatholic #group” in a letter to #MajorLeagueBaseball #Commissioner #RobManfred — the Dodgers were formally disinviting the Sisters from their 10th annual #PrideNight, and rescinding a #CommunityHero #Award to the group due to “the strong feelings of people who have been offended.”

The Los Angeles Dodgers want to “highlight the diversity and resilience” of its LGBTQ fans at the baseball team’s upcoming Pride Night, even though they disinvited a beloved group known for its fundraising work and decades-long support for the LGBTQ community.

#LGBTQ #Advocates Call on #Dodgers to Reinvite #TheSistersOfPerpetualIndulgence or #Cancel #PrideNight.
“If they’re not invited, I’m not going. #Celebrating #Pride is about #inclusion. Do better,” #LosAngelesCounty #Supervisor #LindseyHorvath said.
#MLB should be ashamed.
