Drag group that mocks Catholics to be honored by the L.A. Dodgers
The Dodgers are set to partner with LA Pride to give the award to the drag group June 16.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to give a "Community Hero Award" next month to a drag queen group well known for mocking Catholics.
The drag group goes by the name of "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," and they describe themselves as a "leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns," according to their website.
"We are more than just another community service organization: we are Sisters. As with our more traditional counterparts, nearly all of us felt a genuine calling to do this work. There is room for a lot of fun in the Order, but we take our callings and our vows very seriously," the group's website says.
The Dodgers are set to partner with LA Pride to give the award to the drag group June 16, The Daily Wire reports.
"Dodgers co-owners and LGBTQ+ legends, Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss, will honor multiple activists and organizations throughout the night," LA Pride said in a press release.
A Catholic nonprofit called CatholicVote wrote a letter to the Dodgers and asked that the drag group's invitation to the game be revoked.
"The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI) are an anti-Catholic hate group which exists to desecrate and degrade the Catholic faith. Their sole mission is to disgust Christians with the most grotesque acts they can imagine," CatholicVote wrote.
