概要

In 1979, a group of queer activists in San Francisco put on nun habits as an Easter joke. Within a few years, they were saving lives.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence started as camp and irreverence, but when the AIDS crisis arrived and official institutions looked the other way, these drag nuns stepped up. They published "Play Fair," one of the very first safer-sex guides in the country, at a time when the government was silent and the church was hostile. They raised money, cared for the sick, and used humor and visibility to fight back against shame and stigma.

This episode tells the story of how joy became a form of resistance, and how a group of people in face paint and habits became genuine lifesavers. Today, more than 600 Sisters operate in chapters around the world, still using camp and community to fight for queer rights.

When religion abandoned so many of us, the Sisters created their own. This is the story of drag nuns, sacred rebellion, and love as a radical act.
