The Los Angeles Dodgers will present The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence with an award Friday night amid heated backlash since the group was first invited on May 4.
A member of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence attends a Jewish-Christian church service on Christopher Street Day at St. Mary's Church in Berlin on June 20, 2014.
But advocates for the group’s inclusion fired back, with many groups, including LA Pride, announcing it would no longer be attending the event as a result. A Los Angeles Dodgers fan waves a flag during a game between the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Oct. 12, 2022.
"We have asked The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16th. We are pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades." Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw take the mound against the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on April 29, 2023.
"A Major League Baseball game is a place where people from all walks of life should feel welcomed, something I greatly respect and support. This is the purpose of different themed nights hosted by the organization, including Pride Night," Williams wrote.
