Regarding the controversy with the Dodgers, the team originally agreed to have the Sisters at their event on June 16, where the group was expected to receive a Community Hero award. However, many took offense, accusing the group of mocking Catholicism. Footage from the Sisters’ annual “Hunky Jesus” contest, which shows a man dressed as Jesus on a cross while another man in drag dances around him, sparked further criticism.
Senator Marco Rubio criticized the inclusion of the Sisters at the Dodgers’ event, influencing the team to rescind its invitation. However, after further backlash, the Dodgers re-extended the invitation with an apology. The Sisters accepted the apology, stating that they felt it was sincere and that they would consult with the Dodgers if similar pressures arose in the future. LA Pride also expressed their full support for the Sisters receiving their award.
