Dodgers Honor Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence At Pride Night

In response to the criticism, the team decided not to invite the Sisters to Pride Night, which sparked criticism from its other Pride Night partners. It ultimately issued an apology and extended a second invitation to the Sisters, prompting more criticism from people like former vice president Mike Pence and U.S. senator Marco Rubio.

The Dodgers only gave the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence two minutes of their time after all their apologies and submission to pressure from radical left activists. with roughly 300 spectators present.

It’s likely that the team planned the little gathering to make sure that no one would be present to see the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence disgrace themselves by disobeying the team’s own rules.

When the Dodgers announced they would honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of people who dress as nuns and were among the first to provide support to AIDS patients at a time when such assistance was sorely lacking, they drew ire from Catholic and conservative figures.

The dispute culminated in a “prayerful procession” organized in a parking lot outside Dodger Stadium before the Pride Night game, which led to the closure of the stadium’s main entrance.

More over one hour before first pitch, the accolade was given. When the civil rights protestors entered the field, Dodger Stadium was mostly empty. However, when the Sisters were introduced, the audience cheered and applauded loudly.

“The Dodgers community hero award goes to an organization reaching the LGBTQ+ community, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, LA chapter,” stadium announcer Todd Leitz said. “Please join us in recognizing the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for their outstanding service to the LGBTQ+ community.”

“I did not hear a single boo, and I was delighted to hear so much of our community cheering,” Sister Unity told USA TODAY Sports at Dodger Stadium. “That always flipped the on switch for me. I responded very happily with what we’ve always done, which is to wave and be fun and goofy, and make people feel good about who they are.”
