Archbishop OK with clergy sex abuse, but when it comes to drag queens at baseball games, we all must pray
according to the LA Times. The Dodgers sparked widespread performative outrage when it was revealed they’re honoring the Sisters with their Community Service Award Friday night.
Formed in San Francisco, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a satirical performance and activist organization that highlights anti-gay bigotry through drag and religious symbolism.
They raise money for a slew of community and LGBTQ+ organizations, and were instrumental in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Multiple Republican politicians, including ex-Vice President Mike Pence and Florida senator Marco Rubio, suffered meltdowns at the Sisters’ inclusion.
For a brief moment, the Dodgers capitulated to the faux outrage, only to re-invite the Sisters days later.Unsurprisingly, the Sisters are handling the Archbishop’s desperate PR stunt with aplomb. “We wish Archbishop Gomez and his flock the very best,” the group said in a statement. “We pray all Angelenos will enjoy the magnificent athleticism and sportsmanship of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.”The Sisters beat back the AIDS epidemic.
