"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."
"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.""
Thousands gathered in Dolores Park for the annual Hunky Jesus celebration, filling the hills as fog cleared and claiming the park for queer community. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence centered the event on trans solidarity with the theme "No Easter without the T" to counter intensified political attacks. Hosts and speakers combined theatricality and fiery speeches, including State Senator Scott Wiener and Sisters Roma and Shelita Corndog, who invoked immigrant justice and queer liberation. The event blended satire, ritual, and direct political messaging to affirm transgender leadership in queer history and to mobilize communal resistance through joyful, defiant public celebration.
