This year's Easter celebration in Dolores Park, a historic event hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, focused on solidarity with the transgender community, highlighted by the theme "No Easter without the T." As the event attracted large crowds, it served as both a festive occasion and a powerful protest against political actions threatening trans rights. Speakers, including State Senator Scott Wiener and Sister Roma, emphasized the importance of unity and joy in fighting against oppression, marking the celebration as a vibrant reaffirmation of LGBTQ+ history and resilience.
"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!"
Sister Roma emphasized the importance of solidarity, stating, "No Easter without the T. It's to show our solidarity with the trans community, which is under brutal attack right now."
State Senator Scott Wiener remarked, "I love this event because this represents everything they hate!" highlighting the deeply political and defiant nature of the celebration.
Sister Roma remarked, "The transgender community has been at the forefront of queer liberation... there is no LGB without the T," reinforcing the vital link between transgender rights and the broader LGBTQ+ movement.
