After much backlash, the Dodgers apologized and re-invited a group of self-described queer and trans nuns to their Pride Night. Now, the Archdiocese of LA is criticizing the team’s reversal on the invitation.
In their own statement, the sisters said they are “proud” to accept the Dodgers’ Community Hero Award. The sisters said they are to be honored for their 27 years of service in the LGBTQIA community.
“Last week's debacle underscores the dangerous impact of political tactics by those who seek to stoke the flames of anti-LGBTQ bias at a time when our rights are under attack,'' the center's CEO, Joe Hollendoner, said. “We must continue to stand together as a community in defense of the rights andThe Dodgers' decision last week to withdraw its invitation to the Sisters came after complaints were raised by several Catholic organizations and Sen.
The Sisters issued a statement last week expressing “deep offense” at being uninvited to the event, calling the decision a capitulation to “hateful and misleading information from people outside their community.” The group insisted it is a nonprofit organization that “annually raises thousands of dollars to distribute to organizations supporting marginalized communities.
