Easter Sunday--Resurrection Day--the holiest moment in the Christian calendar when believers across the globe lift their eyes in awe of the Risen Christ. It is a day of reverence, of worship, of joy rooted in the empty tomb. But this past Easter, in San Francisco's Dolores Park, sacredness was replaced by sacrilege.
The so-called "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," a group of self-described queer and trans "nuns," held an event that began with children's activities--egg hunts, bunny relays, and story time--only to descend into a mockery of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary through drag contests titled "Hunky Jesus" and "Foxy Mary."
Let that sink in: while families arrived for what appeared to be a community Easter celebration, their children were lured into a setting that ultimately celebrated gender confusion, sexualized performances, and theological mockery. The event's theme, "No Easter without T," is a deliberate twisting of the true meaning of Easter--turning Christ's triumph over death into a platform for gender politics and perverse parody.
According to the group's own Instagram post, the event was a celebration of the Sisters' 46th anniversary, deliberately hosted on Resurrection Sunday "in recognition of our trans brothers and sisters who are under siege." The flyer promoting the event featured a tattooed, drag-inspired "Jesus" surrounded by men in full costume, mocking not only the image of Christ but the entire purpose of Easter.
Let's be clear: this was not a fringe gathering. It was city-sanctioned. It took place in a public park. Children were targeted with what looked like innocent festivities, only to be followed by a drag performance stage show, trans-themed programming, and contests where past winners bore names such as "Pro-Choice Mary," "Black Woman as God," and "Transgender Maria de Guadalupe."
This is not inclusion. This is indoctrination wrapped in irreverence. It is a spiritual assault under the guise of tolerance.
The same group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, was honored by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2023 during their "Pride Night" celebration--an act that sparked rightful outrage from Christians across the country. They were also featured in a "Drag Sunday" church service this February at the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas--a church that claims the name of Christ while desecrating the meaning of holiness.
This isn't just about drag. It's about spiritual warfare. It's about calling good evil and evil good (Isaiah 5:20). What took place in Dolores Park was not simply offensive--it was blasphemous. And it was targeted at the most vulnerable: our children.
Christians, we cannot stay silent. We cannot allow Resurrection Sunday--the glorious declaration of life over death--to be hijacked by those who use it as a stage for parody and propaganda. Jesus Christ is not a character for costume contests. Mary is not a canvas for gender ideology. These are sacred truths, not symbols to be distorted.
We must respond not with hate, but with boldness. With clarity. With courage. The Apostle Paul warned the Galatians not to be swayed by a gospel that was not truly the Gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). What happened in Dolores Park was a false gospel of self, pride, and confusion.
But we serve a risen King. And no mockery, no drag show, no distortion of truth can change the fact that the tomb is empty. Jesus lives. And because He lives, we must speak.
Let this be our resolve: to protect our children, to defend our sacred days, and to boldly proclaim the unchanging truth of the Gospel, even when it's unpopular. Especially when it's unpopular.
He is Risen. Let us live and speak as those who believe it.
