LA Dodgers dump Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence after Marco Rubio’s hissy fit
statement posted online, LA Dodgers said, “In the spirit of unity, the Los Angeles Dodgers are proud to host our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16th.
This event has become a meaningful tradition, highlighting not only the diversity and resilience within our fanbase, but also the impactful work of extraordinary community groups.“This year, as part of a full night of programming, we invited a number of groups to join us.
We are now aware that our inclusion of one group in particular – The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence – in this year’s pride night has been the source of some controversy.“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.”pic.twitter.com/k4v1valfRYRubio blasted the non-profit for “diabolical parodies of our faith.”The LA chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence responded with a statement expressing their disappointment.“We, the Los Angeles Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, were recently awarded a Community Hero Award by the Los Angeles Dodgers for our twenty-seven years of service to the LGBTQIA community.
Today, we are sad to learn the Los Angeles Dodgers have chosen to rescind their award, succumbing to pressure from people outside the state of California and outside of our community.
