LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers have disinvited a LGBTQIA+ group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the team's annual Pride Night after opposition from conservative Catholic groups.
The charity, protest and performance group was to have received the team's Community Hero Award in a ceremony during the 10th annual event before the June 16 game against the San Francisco Giants.
"Given the strong feelings of people who have been offended by the sisters' inclusion in our evening, and in an effort not to distract from the great benefits that we have seen over the years of Pride Night, we are deciding to remove them from this year's group of honorees," the Dodgers said in a statement Wednesday.
