Controversy and Inclusion: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Dodgers Pride Night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers invited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an L.G.B.T. activist group known for members who dress in drag resembling the black-and-white habits of Catholic sisters, to be honored during their Pride Night on June 16. The invitation was rescinded after criticism from conservative groups and Senator Marco Rubio, but was later reinstated following a social media uproar. The group raises money for charitable causes and seeks to bring visibility to a community often under siege. However, some Catholics are angry that the group's costumes mock Catholic sisters who have done heroic work, especially during the AIDS crisis.
