"As the fog burned away, the hills above filled faster than in years past. By the time the main event started around noon, it felt like all of San Francisco was packed into the park, locked in for one of the city's wildest - and most meaningful - traditions: Easter in the Park with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Hunky Jesus is how we know it, but it's also a lot more."
"Since returning to office in 2025, the Trump administration has ramped up efforts to undermine, mischaracterize, and erase the trans community from civic life, military service, and even history. "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." So the Sisters used this year's Easter egg-stravaganza to counter those political attacks with the thing they do best: defiant, joyful protest."
"Hosted by Roma, Honey Mahogany, and Alex U Inn, the event featured fiery speeches, including out gay State Senator Scott Wiener, who declared, "I love this event because this represents everything they hate!" "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." She ended with a directive: "Unleash our joy!""
