""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." She ended with a directive: "Unleash our joy!""
Large crowds filled Dolores Park under blue skies and rainbow flags for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’s Hunky Jesus Easter celebration. The event foregrounded a theme of trans solidarity—"No Easter without the T"—in response to intensified political attacks on transgender people since 2025. Hosts Roma, Honey Mahogany, and Alex U Inn led fiery speeches and performances, including remarks from State Senator Scott Wiener. The gathering combined ritual, theatrical drag pageantry, and explicit political protest, with prayers and directives to free immigrants, defend trans people, and unleash collective joy as a form of resistance.
