Catholic protesters gather, march outside Dodger Stadium in opposition to Pride Night

The Dodgers will host their annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night at Dodger Stadium Friday, including presenting a Community Hero Award to a group of self-described "queer and trans nuns," the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, which has drawn opposition from Catholic groups and organizations.

The U.S. Conference of Bishops has urged Catholics nationwide to join the prayers.
