Initially, the Dodgers agreed to invite the Sisters to their June 16 event at Dodger Stadium during a game against San Francisco, where the infamous drag nuns were to receive a community hero award.
Many took offense and said the group was “making fun of the Holy Mass,” while accusing them of making fun of God’s son by holding their annual “Hunky Jesus” contest.
Footage from the latest event, filmed at San Francisco’s Dolores Park in April, shows a man dressed as Jesus on a cross while another man in drag and high heels dances around him and on a pole. Dozens of people perform at the annual Easter event to be crowned Hunky Jesus or Foxy Mary.
Senator Marco Rubio decried their inclusion, and the Dodgers rescinded their invitation after Rubio criticized the invitation in a letter to Major League Baseball.

The LA Dodgers apologized to the drag nuns for initially canceling their invitation to their Pride Night on June 16 and renewed the invitation on Monday.
He criticized the group and said they mocked Catholicism and encouraged the “perversion” of the principles of Jesus.
The next day, LA Pride dropped the event, despite producing the city’s annual parade and festivities surrounding the LGBTQ community.
Following further criticism, the Dodgers later renewed the invitation, saying in a statement Monday: ‘The Los Angeles Dodgers would like to extend our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families.
“We asked them to take the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16.
“We are pleased to announce that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the vital work they have tirelessly done for decades.
“In the coming weeks, we will continue to work without LGBTQ+ partners to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen the bonds that bind us, and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diverse Dodgers family.
The sisters later said in a statement that they believed “the apology was sincere,” adding that the two organizations would “consult and assist each other in responding” if “similar pressure from outside” the community arises. .
Since the Dodgers’ turnaround, LA Pride has said it “fully supports” the sisters receiving their awards and will “stand in solidarity” with them on Pride Night.
