Here's a moronic salute that covers a lot of dopes.
These are the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Allegedly a transgender or transvestite improv group that specializes in performing and protesting against the Catholic Church. For instance, one of their bits is to do graphic pole dancing with the Crucifix. Charming.
Now one would argue that this is a free country...allegedly...and they have the right to say and do what they want. Indeed, they claim they are all about love. Except if you're Catholic and then you're hated. The ridiculous double standard that runs rampant in our society.
Now I wouldn't give a shit about these jerks except they got mixed up with my Los Angeles Dodgers. Now the team has always made a big deal about Pride Night every June. One of the Dodger bigwigs is gay and made a big deal by getting married at home plate a couple of years. I don't mind the inclusion here, even if it's nothing but a couple of same sex couples cuddling during Kiss Cam.
So the Dodgers, on this year's Pride Night, was going to honor the Sisters with an award. Until they were reminded that one half of their fan base is Hispanic and naturally largely Catholic. The team disinvited these schmucks and I couldn't argue with that.
But, apparently, hard line fans of the Sisters must have leveled heavy opposition on the team and...bingo...re-invited. Truly a stupid move one more time.
Suddenly, it's okay to denigrate the Catholic religion. It's fine to insult a doctrine that has followers all over the world. Again, you're only right if you're on the right side...or, in this case, the left side.
The Dodgers offered back that the Sisters have done a whole work to help the community. But at what expense? Now, boycotts are planned here and there, while the whole situation could have been simply handled if the Dodgers didn't cave to some radical kooks and honored half their fan base.
Pride Night goes on as scheduled. And, if you are so inclined, you can cheer on these slobs. Or boo them. It's a free country right?
Not always. As for me, I am selling my Pride Night tix on Seat Geek. But it has more to do with my knee replacement recovery than making a political statement.
Dinner last night: Grilled sausage.
