Final score: PRIDE NIGHT 1 – HATERS 0.

Despite heavy police and security presence along the first level of seating, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were honored with the Los Angeles Dodgers’ community hero award on the team’s Pride Night which was packed despite threats and protest from right-wing extremist.

Fans in attendance of Friday’s Pride Night at Dodger Stadium enjoyed the game and celebration of the LGBTQ community, despite the thousands of protesters outside who opposed the team’s decision to include the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in their event.

Fans were still able to make their way into the stadium and the Sisters were given their Community Hero award from the Dodgers in a small ceremony before the game. Eventually, the stands filled up with people ready to celebrate Pride and watch a baseball game.

Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts made it clear all were welcome at the ballpark ahead of the game as well. “I love everyone. Anyone who wants to come in and support the Dodgers, I’m all in, we’re all in,” said Roberts.

While the PRIDE Night festivities were happening inside the stadium, outside a few hundred people protested the Sisters’ recognition.

Outside the Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels in downtown L.A., a lone protester used a bullhorn and fliers to alert people to the demonstration at the stadium. Another said he was disappointed that the archdiocese didn’t provide shuttles to the site.

Friday’s protest was organized in part by Catholics for Catholics, a Phoenix-based 501(c)(4) organization that IS NOT officially connected to the Catholic Church that counts retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who previously pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, as a senior adviser.

I don’t know weather to grasp my pearls or slap that bitch. Or BOTH.

Former drag performer Rep. George Santos (R-NY) flew into a foul-mouthed diatribe against “drag nuns” on Wednesday. “I don’t usually swear but… The ‘Drag nuns’ can FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF!” the serial liar lawmaker tweeted. “The mockery they cast on the Catholic faith is DAMN offensive and WRONG!” It’s unclear what prompted Santos’ outburst, though the decision to invite a member of the drag activist organization Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to a Pride Month celebration in the California Assembly sparked Republican protests this week.

Busted Bill Of The Non-Catholic Church Affiliated Catholic League: We'll "Boycott PRIDE Night".

Busted Donohue Of The Non-Catholic Church Affiliated Catholic League: We’ll “Boycott PRIDE Night”.

And nobody cared except the people who would never go to PRIDE Night anyway.

After being exposed as one of the two anti-LGBT hate groups that lied and harassed the LA Dodgers to disinvite the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Bill Donohue of the non-Catholic church-affiliated “Catholic League” is now claiming “anti-Catholic bigotry” and they’ll boycott PRIDE Night at Dodger Stadium.

Via press release from Catholic League Hate Group President Bill Donohue:

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reinvited the anti-Catholic homosexual drag group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Last week, after the Catholic League enlisted the support of its followers to contact Rob Manfred, Commissioner of Major League Baseball (MLB), the “Sisters” were disinvited from attending the “10 Annual LGBTQ+ Night” event; they were to be given a Community Hero Award.
The Dodgers have now officially endorsed anti-Catholic bigotry. Catholics don’t need any lectures from Stan Kasten, the president and CEO of the Dodgers, on the need to be “inclusive.” The man is a phony—he has no problem excluding Catholics from his selective world of inclusivity.
The Dodgers not only reinvited the bigoted drag queens, they apologized to them.
In a statement released to the press, the Dodgers said they had “much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.”
On May 22, the “Sisters” met with Kasten and LGBTQ organizations, as well as local government officials. There was no indication that Catholic leaders, clergy or lay, were invited to participate in these “honest conversations.”
Only one side was listened to—the side that sponsors hate speech. The fact that gay and trans leaders agree with the vulgar anti-Catholic rhetoric and behavior of the “Sisters” means they now have no moral leg to stand on when asking for an end to bigotry against them.
I would love to sit down with Kasten and Manfred after they have read the report and ask them how can they possibly defend such an obscene anti-Catholic group. No decent person could possibly defend such a vicious assault on Catholic sensibilities.
Our next step is to persuade Catholics in the Los Angeles area not to attend Pride Night on June 16. By boycotting this event, we can send a message to the Dodgers, and to Major League Baseball, that anti-Catholic bigotry is unacceptable.
To this end, we will send the report to every parish in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

As Kathy Griffin so famously put it the Catholic League is just some old dude with a Fax Machine.

And she was right.

LA Dodgers Apologize, Re-Invite Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. We “Sincerely Apologize”.

As we reported last week. Ahead of its June 16 Pride Night, the Los Angeles Dodgers officially removed The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from their Pride Night honoree list after being duped by two “Catholic” hate groups; CatholicVote.org and Bill Donoghue of the Catholic League that has no affiliation to the Catholic church and who bombarded the team with messages because they were honoring a ” blatantly perverted, sexual and disgusting anti-Catholic hate group.”

After the Sisters were removed from the Dodgers’ Pride Night, LA Pride dropped out of the event in solidarity, writing, “Pride is a fight for equality and inclusion for the entire LGBTQ community and we’re not going to stop now.” At the time, the Sisters wrote that they were “offended and outraged” by the team’s decision to rescind their invitation and succumb to “pressure” and “misleading information.”

Well the LA Dodgers have finally done their due diligence after much blowback and complaints and have apologized to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

“After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence … the Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies,” the team said in a statement Monday afternoon after meeting with leaders of the group. (see below)

The Sisters have graciously accepted.

“A full apology and explanation was given to us by the Dodgers staff which we accept,” the Sisters said. “We believe the apology is sincere because the Dodgers have worked for 10 years with our community and as well they have asked us to continue an ongoing relationship with them.”

The Sister of Perpetual Indulgence is a non-profit whose decades of service in the community have been well-documented, and many viewed the Dodgers’ decision as being duped and caving to right-wing fundamentalists. hate groups.

Pressure and Boycotts DO WORK.

LA Dodgers REMOVE The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence  From PRIDE Night Honorees After Being Duped By Fake Catholic Group.

UPDATED: LA Dodgers REMOVE The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence  From PRIDE Night After Being Duped By Fake Catholic Group, The Sisters Respond.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have done charity work for the LGBT community for over 40 years. LA should know better.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially removed Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from their Pride Night honoree list after an anti-LGBT extremists groups raised concerns the event would facilitate anti-Catholic hate.

“This year, as part of a full night of programming, we invited a number of groups to join us. 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. Given the strong feelings of people who have been offended by the sisters’ inclusion in our evening, and in an effort not to distract from the great benefits that we’ve seen over the years of Pride Night, we are deciding to remove them from this year’s group of honorees,” it said.

CatholicVote.org complained to the Dodgers and urged them to rethink the decision in order not “to honor a blatantly perverted, sexual and disgusting anti-Catholic hate group.”

If the LA Dodgers had done their due diligence they would have realized that CatholicVote.org is an ultra-conservative, non-profit political anti-LGBT advocacy group.  While the organization acknowledges the authority of the Magisterium, it is not associated in any way with the Catholic Church.

On June 25, 2015, one day before same-sex marriage became legal everywhere in the United States, CatholicVote.org uploaded a video onto YouTube called “Not Alone”. The video features Catholic people who oppose same-sex marriage defending this belief, saying that people should not hate or dislike those who oppose same-sex marriage. And in 2022 the group urged parents to check out LGBT library books and not return them so that no children will be able to see them

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence on the other have been around since 1980 and is a charity organization that has raised money for everything from helping Cuban refugees to the Breast Cancer Network, Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic, and the Gay Games.  The Sisters are also involved in a wide range of community service activities. They have volunteered at homeless shelters, food banks, and other organizations that serve marginalized populations. They also participate in events and marches that support LGBTQ+ rights and other social justice causes.

A HUGE blunder by the Dodgers. Duped by an anti-LGBT hate group.

Hopefully, they will rectify this. QUICKLY.

UPDATE 5:05PM – We have tied to reach out to the LA Dodgers’ Media Department. No one in the organization is answering and the message box is full.

Power Drag Queens ON! – San Francisco Drag Queens Take On Facebook’s Name Policy

Featured, GayGeek - All Things Gay and Geeky, , ,

Sister Roma

 

A group of San Francisco drag queens lead by Sister Roma of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence along with Supervisor David Campos are launched a campaign against Facebook’s policy requiring users to use their ”real” name which compromises the privacy, health and safety of many members of the LGBT community and  also raises the questions about who has the right to determine how someone chooses to identify.

Via SFGate:

“The fact is Facebook is a very important life in San Francisco and we want members of our community to feel comfortable and treated with respect as they participate in Facebook,” he said. “These people have created an identity connected to their public name. Facebook has created a community we all want to be a part of, and everyone should get to be a part of it, however they choose to identify.”

Campos is in talks to set up a meeting between Facebook and some of the city’s drag entertainers. There is also a Change.org petition with more than 3,000 signatures asking for similar changes.

Perhaps Facebook should try to  clean up the various spammers, hate speech accounts, cam whores, and free sample scammers using FB under *their* “real names first before it tries to enforce any policies which in reality are only there to data-mine the hell out of you.  #RealTalk

Gay Blogger Joe Jervis of Joe My God Recieves Sainthood!

Featured, GayGeek - All Things Gay and Geeky, , , ,

The Beary handsome, hairy, and hung Joe Jervis of the extremely popular blog Joe.My.God has been in San Francisco for the past week and at the ” Remember The Party” party San Francisco’s legendary Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence cannonized Joe as one of their saints.

Joe My God:

“As Sisters we strive to uphold our vows to our community; to promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt. While the pathway of a Sister isn’t for everyone, we recognize special individuals living the calling in their own lives through their devotion to public service, social activism, and spiritual enlightenment. In recognition of their actions we give the honorific of Sainthood within the Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The Sisters could not minister to the community without the exemplary support and collaboration with our Saints and in this humble way we thank them for their continued embodiment of service, action and joy.”

All hail and kneel before Saint Joe My Gawd!  (No problem there!)

Congratulations Joe! (Peter LaBarbera’s going to go apeshit!  Tee hee Tee Hee!)

Video – San Francisco’s Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Presents The Hunky Jesus Competition 2012

Entertainment, Featured, Gay News From Around The Globe, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots, , , , , ,

This year San Francisco’s own Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence celebrated their 33rd year of presenting the FABULASH Hunky Jesus Easter Contest in Dolores Park.

Said (Porno) Pete LaBarbera of the Hate Group American’s for Truth About Homosexuality of the contest.

The profane and shockingly insensitive spectacle illustrates the secular, pro-“gay” Left’s hypocrisy in demanding “respect” for homosexuals and transsexuals — even as they cynically mock Christ and true religion on the holiest day of the year for Christians.

There’s nothing that delights arrogant, pro-homosexual liberals more than making fun of Bible-believing Christians — as evidenced by this blasphemous Easter ‘contest. Of course, it goes without saying that these defiant champions of ‘tolerance and diversity’ wouldn’t dare hold a ‘Hunky Muhammad’ contest during Ramadan — so it seems even envelope-pushing, in-your-face, pro-perversion libertines know their limits. The “Hunky Jesus” contest symbolizes the contempt that many homosexual militants have for God and religion. Politically this translates into their growing advocacy of pro-homosexuality laws that use State power to crush Americans’ historic religious and First Amendment liberties. Gay activists are out of the closet in their plans to criminalize Christianity insofar as it relates to their particular politically-correct sin,”

Sure sounds like a winner to me!

And btw Petey. I know many hunky guys named Muhammad and I’d have no problem doing them on Ramadan. LOL!
