Dodgers face backlash for withdrawing LGBTQ+ group from Pride Night event.

The Los Angeles Dodgers withdrew an invitation to The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group described as an "order of queer and trans nuns," to participate in the team's annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night following criticism from Catholic groups and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio. The group had been scheduled to receive a Community Hero Award at the team's June 16 Pride Night, honoring its efforts to promote human rights, diversity, and "spiritual enlightenment." The Dodgers' decision to exclude the group also generated criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates who called for inclusion and acceptance.
