Overview

  • The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are hosting their annual Easter event, 'No Easter Without the T,' which includes a children's egg hunt and a drag costume contest featuring personas like 'Hunky Jesus' and 'Foxy Mary.'
  • The event has been marketed to families despite organizers warning that parts of the show may be inappropriate for young children.
  • Promotional materials for the event include a depiction of a tattooed 'Jesus' surrounded by individuals in drag, continuing the group’s tradition of religious satire.
  • Conservative groups and commentators, including CatholicVote representatives, have condemned the event as sacrilegious and bigoted.
  • The Sisters describe themselves as an 'order of queer and trans nuns' and have used provocative performances for over 45 years to advocate for LGBTQ+ visibility and rights.
