Dodgers announce ‘Christian Faith and Family Day’ following Pride Night fallout

LA Times  

On the heels of a back-and-forth controversy over the invitee list to an upcoming Pride Night event, the Dodgers have announced a relaunch of their “Christian Faith and Family Day.” The event, which was tweeted out by star pitcher Clayton Kershaw on Friday, is set for July 30 at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers last held the faith-themed event in 2019, and Kershaw wrote that “we are grateful for the opportunity to talk about Jesus and determined to make it bigger and better than it was before COVID.” Excited to announce the relaunch of Christian Faith and Family Day at Dodger Stadium on July 30th. pic.twitter.com/yNu7HyEgR9 — Clayton Kershaw May 26, 2023 The announcement comes in the wake of a controversy in which the Dodgers invited, then uninvited, then reinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to its 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16. As part of the event, the team originally planned to honor the drag group’s L.A. chapter with a Community Hero Award in a pregame ceremony but quickly came under fire from conservative Catholic groups, who took umbrage at the Sisters’ nun imagery.
