The team said that it had asked the Sisters to “take their place on the field” come Pride Night.
After inviting and uninviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to their annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night event next month, the Los Angeles Dodgers backpedaled again on Monday and extended both an apology and a fresh invitation to the drag group.
The team said that it had asked the Sisters—who bill themselves as “a leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns”—to “take their place on the field” come Pride Night, and that the group had agreed. With brightly-colored habits and painted faces, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence form a LGBTQ+ advocacy and fundraising nonprofit. Founded in 1979 in San Francisco, the group became known for ministering to AIDS patients in subsequent decades, and has since expanded across the country.
The Sisters said on Monday that they were “proud” to accept the award. In a statement shared by Order member Sister Unity, the group explained that they had met with Stan Kasten, the president and chief executive of the Dodgers hours earlier. Also present at the meeting, according to the group, were a number of local LGBTQ+ community leaders, as well as several local and state government officials.
