The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, San Francisco’s legendary troupe of queer and trans activists, have been benched from the Dodgers’ Pride Night after a right-wing pressure campaign.

“This year, as part of a full night of programming, we invited a number of groups to join us,” The Dodgers wrote in a statement on Twitter Wednesday afternoon. “We are now aware that our inclusion of one group in particular – The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence – in this year’s Pride Night has been the source of some controversy.”

“Baseball has always been tied to our nation’s values, at the heart of which is faith in God,” Rubio wrote in a Mondayto Rob Manfred, commissioner of MLB. “It would be an outrage and a tragedy if the MLB, in pursuit of modern, secular, and indeed anti-religious ‘values,’ rebuked that faith and the millions of believing fans who cherish the sport.”

“The Catholic League has been the leading critic of this bigoted organization for many decades,” Donohue wrote. “Don’t believe the lie that the ‘Sisters’ mean no harm. And don’t believe the lie, floated by Erik Braverman, a communications spokesman for the Dodgers, that this event is all about ‘diversity and inclusion.’ On the contrary, it’s about rewarding hate speech.
