Los Angeles Dodgers apologize to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2023-05-23

After massive backlash and outrage, the Dodgers are rolling back their misguided move to alienate most of Los Angeles' LBGTQA+ communities. The baseball-playing organization has apologized to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for uninviting them to Pride Night.

The retraction of the sports team's invitation was based on bullshit parroted by a laughable creep from Florida, Marco Rubio, and imagined by the perpetually offended Bill Donohue's one-man Catholic League. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a decades-old San Francisco Bay Area service organization, while the Dodgers are the benefactors of the Battle of Chavez Ravine.
