Via press release from Sen. Marco Rubio:
In June, the Los Angeles Dodgers plan to give a “Community Hero Award” to an anti-Catholic group of activist drag queen performers. The LA Chapter of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence features men dressed like Catholic nuns who mock the faith with the motto “Go forth and sin some more!”
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) sent a letter to Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred questioning whether the League is “inclusive and welcoming” to Christians.
LETTER EXCERPT:
The ‘sisters’ are men who dress in lewd imitation of Roman Catholic nuns. The group’s motto, ‘go and sin some more,’ is a perversion of Jesus’s command to ‘go, and sin no more.’
The group’s ‘Easter’ ceremony features children’s programming followed by a drag show where adult performers dress in blasphemous imitation of Jesus and Mary.
The group hosts pub crawls mocking the Stations of the Cross and even the Eucharist, the sacrament that unites more than one billion Catholics around the world.
Do you believe that the Los Angeles Dodgers are being ‘inclusive and welcoming to everyone’ by giving an award to a group of gay and transgender drag performers that intentionally mocks and degrades Christians—and not only Christians, but nuns, who devote their lives to serving others?
MLB is honoring with an award a transgender drag performers who openly MOCK Christians, including Catholic nuns. @marcorubio is shedding light on this and asking the MLB to explain their discriminative decision!https://t.co/jsoMvMFSjq

Major league kudos to my Sisters in LA (@LADragnuns) on being recognized as heroes for their decades of community service and philanthropy by the @Dodgers! Now more than ever it’s important to elevate and support queer/trans people and organizations. https://t.co/O2PztAA8w9

The Los Angeles Dodgers have besmirched their legacy of combating bigotry by partnering with LA Pride in awarding this year’s Community Hero Award to an obscene anti-Catholic group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.https://t.co/LoR3TtwRAJ pic.twitter.com/n0VQ3NFXAT
