Founded in 1979, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence an Order of queer and trans nuns. The group is dedicated to community service, protest, and street performance, using drag and religious imagery to bring attention to sexual intolerance and satirizing issues of gender and morality. Joyful and committed to their community, the group "use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit."
