Joe.My.God. LGBT News
From the May 4th press release from LA Pride:
LA Pride is thrilled to be partnering with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night at Dodger Stadium, presented by Blue Shield of California, on Friday, June 16. LA Pride fans will enjoy a host of extras, both before and after the 7:10 p.m. matchup against the San Francisco Giants.
“The Dodgers have always championed diversity and inclusion as core values, and we’re honored to showcase our dedication to fostering an inclusive environment both on and off the field during our tenth annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night,” said Erik Braverman, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Communications, Community Relations, and Broadcasting.
Dodgers co-owners and LGBTQ+ legends, Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss, will honor multiple activists and organizations throughout the night, including our very own Board of Directors President, Gerald Garth.
Gerald will be joined by the LA chapter of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, which will receive this year’s Community Hero Award, and multi-platinum recording artist, David Archuleta, who will sing the National Anthem.
Earlier today I reported that Sen. Marco Rubio, the Catholic League, Catholic Vote, and other right wing anti-LGBTQ groups were screaming about the Sisters being honored.
And minutes ago, the Dodgers caved.
