The #LADodgers has backtracked on its decision to uninvite a #dragact from its #Pride event, after being hit with fierce backlash from the community and allies. Officials for the #LosAngeles #baseball team announced last week the team had decided to no longer include the #sistersofperpetualindulgence at its 16 June Pride Night event, after they said including the act had been “the source of some controversy”. The ‘controversy’ arose after #Florida #Republican #MarcoRubio hit back at the LA Dodgers for including the drag act, saying it was offensive to #Christians like himself. That decision has now been reversed and an apology issued to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, after the sport team examined feedback from communities within, and outside, the organisation. “After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the #LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families,” the team said in a statement. The statement continued: “We have asked the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16th. “We are pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades. “In the weeks ahead, we will continue to work with our LGBTQ+ partners to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen the ties that bind and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diversity of the #Dodgers family.” #baseballtiktoks #dragqueen #queernews #queertok #culturewars #nunsoftiktok
