Dodgers face backlash over removal of LGBTQ+ groups from Pride Night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced backlash from LGBTQ+ supporters after announcing that the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a charity and protest organization, would no longer be honored with the team's Community Hero Award during their annual Pride Night due to pressure from conservative Catholic organizations. The Dodgers are now discussing a compromise that could be announced soon. The decision sparked national debate, with some conservative Catholics objecting to the group's inclusion and others defending it. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence began as three men dressed as nuns in 1979 in San Francisco's Castro District and have since grown into a nonprofit devoted to community service and promoting human rights.
