Easter in Dolores Park celebrated LGBTQ+ culture and support for the trans community amidst political backlash. The theme, "No Easter without the T," emphasized solidarity during challenging times. Speakers like Sister Roma and State Senator Scott Wiener rallied attendees to embrace queer liberation, drawing upon historical events like the Compton's Cafeteria riots. The event was filled with joy and defiance, featuring passionate speeches that highlighted love and acceptance within the community. The gathering signified not only a celebration of Easter but also a powerful stand against ongoing discrimination and erasure of trans individuals.
"I am really proud of our theme this year," Sister Roma told me. "No Easter without the T. It's to show our solidarity with the trans community, which is under brutal attack right now."
"The transgender community has been at the forefront of queer liberation," added Roma. "From the Compton's Cafeteria riots to Stonewall - there is no LGB without the T."
"Rainbow energy is brighter than life itself," proclaimed Sister Shelita Corndog during the opening prayer. "Free stolen immigrants and all of us who Trump would disappear."
Out gay State Senator Scott Wiener declared, "I love this event because this represents everything they hate!"
