In a move that may backfire like the Bud-Light commercial, the Woke Dodgers re-invited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to their Gay Pride celebration on June 16.
After initially sending them down to the minors for rehab, the Dodgers responded to pressure from LGBTQ groups who threatened to boycott the celebration. In an interesting recalibration of their fan base, the Dodgers decided that there were more queers in LA than Catholics; thus, making their decision to throw the Catholics to the lions.
In answering the famous question, “Who’s on first?” the Dodgers chose, “Nun of the above.” It was like trading Freddie Freeman to the Padres for a player to be named later.
Some background: Founded in 1979 in San Francisco, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are made up of gender-benders who use drag and religious imagery to rat f*ck the Catholic Church. They choose names based on actual nuns who belong to Catholic orders, but that suggest sexual promiscuity or that are based in absurdity: Sister Anita Blowjob, Sister GladAss of the Joyous Reserectum, Sister Hellena Handbasket, Sister Sensible Shoes, and Sister Homo Celestial, among others. They wear wimples, habits, and robes of nuns, but accessorize them with baubles, beads, and whiteface make-up. Although they do engage in some charitable activities, their primary function is to make fun of the Catholic Church and its teachings.
Dr. Slim: “What would Tommy Lasorda say?”
Dirty: “Yo, Dr. Dude. Nothing that could be printed on these pages. These aren’t Tommy Lasorda’s Dodgers.”
