Dodgers face backlash for re-inviting satirical drag group to Pride Night.

TL;DR Summary
The Los Angeles Dodgers have apologized and reinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to their Pride Night event on June 16 after disinviting them in response to criticism from conservative political Catholic groups. The Dodgers reversed their decision after receiving feedback from their diverse communities and conversations with the Sisters. The Sisters, a self-described "order of queer and trans nuns," accepted the apology and will continue their ongoing relationship with the Dodgers. The group has been providing community service for 44 years and was founded in 1979 in San Francisco with a focus on providing care for gay men with HIV/AIDS.
