The Los Angeles Dodgers announced they will no longer honor an organization that was supposed to participate in its upcoming Pride Night, prompting another group to backed out in response.

LA Pride announced on Thursday night that it will no longer be participating in the event after the team severed ties with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI).

"As a longstanding partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, we are very disappointed in their decision to rescind their invitation to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to be honored at the 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night. As a result and in solidarity with our community, LA Pride will not be participating in this year's Dodgers Pride Night event," the organization said in a statement on Thursday.

"Pride is a fight for equality and inclusion for the entire LGBTQ+ community and we're not going to stop now. Let's make this year's Pride celebration louder than ever."

The Dodgers were going to include the SPI in their June 16 Pride Night celebration. However, after Sen. Marco Rubio wrote a letter to MLB regarding the group's anti-Christian sentiments, the team backtracked.
