The Los Angeles Dodgers will host their fifth annual LGBT Night during the team’s home game against the Cincinnati Reds on June 9. A 2017 LA Pride kickoff party will be held at 5:30 p.m., before the game’s first pitch at 7:10 p.m., in the Right Field Plaza Bar.
“We are once again proud to work with so many incredible partners for our fifth annual LGBT Night at Dodger Stadium,” said Dodgers’ Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Lon Rosen. “We are especially excited to partner with LA Pride for the first time ever. The Dodgers, with a proud history of diversity, recognize the value of an inclusive environment.”
A special event ticket package that includes a game ticket and an exclusive Dodgers LGBT T-shirt is available for purchase.
The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by Matt Bomer, a Golden Globe Award-winning actor and LGBT rights activist. Other special guests include Major League Baseball Vice President and special assistant to the commissioner Billy Bean; Brian Pendleton, founder of the #ResistMarch that will be held on June 11; actor Guillermo Diaz; and Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo, both of whom were plaintiffs in a Supreme Court case that restored marriage equality to California.
LGBT Night will also include Friday Night Fireworks, presented by Denny’s, and, for the third consecutive year, music by George Figares and DJ Blacklow. Fans are invited on the field immediately following the game for the fireworks show.
Dodger Stadium is located at 1000 Vin Scully Ave.
