Column: By removing the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from their Pride Night, the Dodgers make it clear they have no interest in being social trailblazers
The Dodgers decided they wouldn’t honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence during their LGBTQ+ Pride Night as originally planned. Now they might flipflop again.. The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California said it wouldn’t participate in the event, which is scheduled for June 16 at Dodger Stadium.
The honoring of the Sisters was protested by a handful of conservative Catholic leaders and bottom-feeding Sen. Marco Rubio , who argued the charity group was “anti-Catholic.” The Dodgers folded as quickly as they did last year in the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres. In other words, the Dodgers didn’t want to alienate a segment of their customer base, no matter how backward its views. Dollars spent by the homophobic and transphobic fans are still dollars.
