Protesters surrounded the main entrance to Dodger Stadium on Friday hours before The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were to receive an award on LGBTQ Pride Night.
LOS ANGELES — With “stop anti-Catholic hate” and"God will not be mocked” signs, protesters surrounded the main entrance to Dodger Stadium on Friday hours before The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were to receive an award on LGBTQ Pride Night., came after conflicting messages from the Dodgers and amid accusations from Catholics that their faith was being insulted.
In the end, the Sisters were awarded a Community Hero Award at a brief on-field ceremony held with few fans yet in their seats before Friday’s Dodgers game against rivals San Francisco Giants. Phoenix-based Catholics for Catholics organized what it called “a prayerful procession” and had advised people against bringing children to the rally because it anticipated “hostility from anti-Christian protestors," The Associated Press reported.
"My team supports me, and I want to show my support," he said."I think they [protesters] have their right, but today is like a special day for us. Especially since we don’t get respected a lot — especially for LGBT and for the Dodgers team to support us." The Dodgers' about-face did little to calm matters. Equality California, an LGBT civil rights group, said the team “should be ashamed.”
“This has nothing to do with the LGBTQ community or Pride or anything like that,” Kershaw told the Times. “This is simply a group that was making fun of a religion, that I don’t agree with.”
