The NFL announced it would host &#8220;A Night of Pride with GLAAD&#8221; during the week of festivities in Las Vegas leading up to Super Bowl LVIII on February 7.
In a <a href="https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/NFL-Continues-Commitment-to-LGBTQ-Community-with-%E2%80%9CA-Night-of-Pride-with-GLAAD%E2%80%9D-presented-by-Smirnoff-at-Super-Bowl-LVIII.aspx">press release</a>, the league highlighted its partnership with the Gay &amp; Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to host the third annual event sponsored by Smirnoff. GLAAD has been a vocal supporter of groups like &#8220;Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,&#8221; an LGBTQ-related nonprofit that incorporates religious imagery into its drag performances, where members dress like nuns. Critics say the group mocks the Catholic faith. 
&#8220;A Night of Pride with GLAAD is an evening of music, cocktails and interview-style conversations with <a href="https://glaad.org/">GLAAD</a>, a non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ advocacy and cultural change,&#8221; the press release read. &#8220;The NFL family and partners will gather to spotlight advances in the future of LGBTQ inclusion in professional sports as well the NFL&#8217;s commitment to LGBTQ former and current players.&#8221;

&#8220;GLAAD&#8217;s partnership with the NFL is committed to creating spaces where all fans can celebrate and to growing important visibility for LGBTQ fans at the Super Bowl and all season long,&#8221; GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said. &#8220;The third annual &#8216;A Night of Pride&#8217; at Super Bowl LVIII will spotlight LGBTQ leaders in sports as we work to create safe and inclusive sports environments for our community.&#8221;
&#8220;Our Third Annual A Night of Pride with GLAAD is yet another strong step to accelerating acceptance and demonstrating the NFL&#8217;s unwavering support of the LGBTQ community,&#8221; NFL&#8217;s Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity &amp; Inclusion Officer Jonathan Beane said. &#8220;We look forward to continuing and strengthening our efforts to ensure football is for everyone.&#8221;
The NFL also confirmed it would &#8220;host its second annual Pride Flag Football Clinic at Super Bowl Experience, working with a local center that serves LGBTQ youth. Attendees and their families will be celebrated and welcomed by NFL players and members of the National Gay Flag Football League.&#8221;

GLAAD made headlines last year when it slammed the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-it-dodgers-pitcher-issues-powerful-statement-against-his-own-team-for-inviting-anti-catholic-group">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> after the team rescinded an invitation to &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boycott-the-dodgers-catholic-bishops-finally-fighting-back-against-anti-catholic-hate-group">Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence&#8221;</a> to participate in its Pride Night celebration. The Dodgers were responding to a backlash accusing the group of acts of sacrilege and mocking Catholicism.
&#8220;Let me be clear. This is NOT inclusion,&#8221; Tony Morrison, the Senior Director of Communications for GLAAD, <a href="https://twitter.com/THETonyMorrison/status/1659191458224545792?s=20">wrote</a> on social media at the time.
&#8220;LGBTQ rights and inclusion are rooted in protest and education,&#8221; he added. &#8220;If you claim to stand for queer rights and joy yet fear controversy, get out of the way for others to do it right.&#8221;
In the end, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-i-saw-at-dodger-stadium-ordinary-catholics-standing-up-for-their-faith">Dodgers</a> reversed course and did end up <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/large-group-protests-dodgers-pride-night-sparse-crowd-watches-drag-nuns-get-honored">honoring</a> the group with a Community Hero Award.
