Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence first met in San Francisco in 1979, in the Castro district. The organization has grown into a series of affiliates organized around the world.

The group has raised more than a million dollars for LGBTQ causes. After backlash, the Dodgers returned to include the organization in their event. The team said it will continue to work with "LGBTQ partners to better educate us" and find ways to strengthen the bonds that bind us, the team said in a statement.
