Despite outrage by some fans, the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team has reaffirmed an invitation to the drag ensemble Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to perform at its Pride Night game on June 16.

The Dodgers announced the drag group’s appearance, then canceled the appearance after public pressure. The MLB team now has canceled the cancelation under more public pressure, and the performance is back on.
