The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is an activist group in San Francisco.
Visit their website here.
From their website: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® is a leading-edge Order of queer nuns. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.
Radha and I happened upon their Easter Party in Dolores Park...
And we were so pleased with that!
This is another photo heavy post... I hope you enjoy my photographs of the Sisters!
This sister's eyelashes and eyeballs were amazing!

But he gave the cash back to the Sisters. Nice of him!
