LA Dodgers Reinvites Drag Queen Charity Group to Pride Night, Apologizes to LGBTQ Community
thewrap.compic.twitter.com/626cPP4IthOn Wednesday, the Dodgers announced it had caved to a consortium of mostly out-of-state right wing critics, and disinvited the Sisters from Pride Night.
The team said it did so because their inclusion “has been the source of some controversy.” Notably, the group was slated to be named among several LGBTQ+ organizations honored that night for their work on behalf of that community.
Instead of lessening the controversy, the team instead magnified it exponentially. The LA Pride organization withdrew from the event in protest, as did the ACLU.
The decision was denounced by the LGBT Center of Los Angeles, and Congressman Jimmy Gomez, who represents the congressional district where Dodgers Stadium is located, also condemned the move.
