SPI Los Angeles House response to the Dodgers
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® are a leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty.
Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment.
We use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.
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.
Although the team ended up losing the game in 11 innings to the division rival San Francisco Giants, for many, the night was still a win.
"I stopped coming to Dodger stadium years ago. They came last year and had such a good time it was all about family, and everyone had a good time. And I'm like, 'Okay, I'll give it a new try,' and so far it's been beautiful," said Alicia Orozco, a Dodger fan in attendance at Friday's game. "It's a great day to get out with family and embrace those who some people think are unembraceable and unlovable. So it's just nice!"
