"Hunky Jesus is how we know it, but it's also a lot more. "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.""
"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!""
Easter in Dolores Park drew huge crowds to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's Hunky Jesus event, blending exuberant celebration with overt political resistance. Organizers emphasized trans solidarity with the theme 'No Easter without the T' in response to intensified attacks on transgender people under the current administration. Hosts and speakers delivered fiery speeches and prayers calling for immigrant freedom, queer resilience, and unapologetic joy. The gathering functioned as both a longstanding San Francisco tradition and a deliberate act of defiant community visibility, centering the historical role of transgender people in queer liberation and insisting on inclusion and resistance.
