Easter in the park proved again why San Francisco is the country's queer heart
Briefly

The annual Easter event in Dolores Park, known as Hunky Jesus, was a vibrant celebration of LGBTQ+ pride and solidarity, specifically with the trans community. Amidst a politically hostile environment under the Trump administration, attendees gathered to unapologetically embrace their identities while protesting against transphobia. Key speeches emphasized joyful resistance against oppression, with Sister Roma declaring the importance of the trans community in queer history. This year’s theme, "No Easter without the T," highlighted the collective determination of the LGBTQ+ community to unite and celebrate their diversity and shared struggles.
"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."
"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."
