A crowd protesting the Dodgers’ decision to invite the controversial Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to its “Pride Night” has gathered outside Dodger Stadium today.
The assembly is taking place hours before the 7:10 first pitch of the team’s game against the San Francisco Giants.
The “Catholics for Catholics” organization is the organizer of the protest, which so far appears peaceful and without opposition. Most fans attending tonight’s game will not show up for several hours.
Protesters are currently at Parking Lot 13 outside Dodger Stadium. Whether they will attempt to disrupt arrivals outside the stadium or protest inside has not been revealed.
The protest is the latest marker on what’s become a public relations nightmare for the Dodgers. They disinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to “Pride Night” when Catholics initially protested their involvement, then reinvited them when gay rights organizations threatened to pull out of the event.

Some projects, however, were inspired by the millions of tourists that visit the country each year and one took on the Covid-19 lockdown that has forced families and friends to share confined spaces for months.
The pitching sessions were preceded the day before by the Dr Film Commission’s pitch to detail the country’s generous incentives and let it be known that it was opening for business on July 1, albeit with health and safety protocols in place. Film Commissioner Yvette Marichal led her team that included lawyer Boni Guerrero and Manuela German who fielded legal and technical questions. They were joined by Pinewood Dominican Republic Studio/Lantica Media COO, Albert Martinez, who expanded on the horizon water tank facility’s amenities,...
