TL;DR Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced backlash after rescinding an invitation to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a charity, protest, and street performance organization, to attend their annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night. The decision came after pressure from conservative Catholic organizations and Senator Marco Rubio. The Dodgers cited "strong feelings of those who have been offended" as the reason for disinviting the group. The move has sparked controversy, with the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California announcing they will not participate in Pride Night. LA Pride also said they will not attend the event.
