Demonstrators opposed to the inclusion of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Pride Night gathered outside Dodger Stadium hours ahead of the festivities.
"All are welcome to join this event in reparation for the offenses committed against our Lord Jesus Christ and against all Christians by 'The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,'" the article said.
Social media videos posted several hours before the start of the game showed what appeared to be thousands of people outside Dodger Stadium with flags and signs. The group also appeared to pray. Earlier this week, the Sisters said they did not take issue with groups who decided to express themselves through protest.
"After 27 years of activism and protests ourselves, including the ones fighting Proposition 8 for our right to marry the ones we love, we certainly cannot complain about our fellow Angelenos expressing their First Amendment rights," the Sisters said in a statement sent to the Los Angeles Times.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a satirical performance and activist organization. They are a self-described"leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns." The group has also raised funds for LGBTQ+ causes.
