Dodger Stadium is typically dormant in January, but it’s hosting an important event later this month. Erik Braverman, the Dodgers senior vice president of marketing, communications, and broadcasting, will be marrying his partner Jonathan Cottrell.
Braverman came out publicly as gay in 2015. He expanded on how meaningful it will be to have his wedding at Dodger Stadium in a LA Times article by Bill Plaschke.
“Dodger Stadium is a place I called home for 15 years, a place I publicly came out, a place where I witnessed some amazing games, but a place I’ve never been able to utilize for myself…”
It’s a big step for a sport that as a whole, is slow to change.
