Anaheim's mayor has invited a group of self-described queer and transgender nuns that was disinvited from the Los Angeles Dodgers' annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night to be her guest at the Los Angeles Angels' upcoming pride night.
"I'm inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to join me for @Angels Pride Night at Anaheim Stadium on June 7," Mayor Ashleigh Aitken tweeted Saturday. "Pride should be inclusive and like many, I was disappointed in the Dodgers decision."Neither the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence nor the Angels immediately responded to a request for comment Sunday.
"This year, as part of a full night of programming, we invited a number of groups to join us," according to a statement issued by the team. "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.
The Sisters issued a statement Thursday expressing "deep offense" at being uninvited to the event, calling the decision a capitulation to "hateful and misleading information from people outside their community." The group insisted it is a nonprofit organization that "annually raises thousands of dollars to distribute to organizations supporting marginalized communities.
"The Catholic League has been the leading critic of this bigoted organization for many decades," Donohue wrote on the organization's website. "... These homosexual bigots are known for simulating sodomy while dressed as nuns." Rubio also sent a complaint to Manfred, saying the group "mocks Christians through diabolical parodies of our faith."
