In what many are calling an outright mockery of Christianity, a San Francisco-based drag queen group known as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence has stirred nationwide outrage over their annual Easter event — a celebration featuring drag costumes of Jesus and Mary and activities marketed to children.

This year’s event, titled “No Easter Without the T,” was promoted as an event to “honor transgenderism” during the holy weekend of Easter. But while the name hints at inclusivity, many Christians say the message is clear: their faith is being mocked.

The event included a children’s Easter egg hunt and a costume contest inviting attendees to come dressed as “Hunky Jesus” and “Foxy Mary.” Promotional materials featured a tattooed “Jesus” surrounded by men in provocative drag costumes. Past iterations of the event included men dressed in revealing clothing as Jesus, holding signs such as “Can I get a gaymen?” and “Haus of Jesus.”

Other past-year contest winners include entries like “Barbie’s Ken Jesus,” “Historically Accurate Jesus,” “Transgender Maria de Guadalupe,” “Pro-Choice Mary,” and “Black Woman as God.”

Absolutely sickening. ?

Critics say the event crosses the line from free expression into intentional blasphemy. Despite being advertised as a family event, the group itself warns that “some may find the latter portion of the show inappropriate for young children.” Even so, families and children were still encouraged to attend.

“They literally say that their show is inappropriate for children while still encouraging children to attend,” conservative watchdog Libs of TikTok posted in response to the event. “It’s disgusting.”

Catholic leaders also weighed in, expressing concern about what they view as an increasingly hostile cultural attitude toward Christianity.

“The ruling class abides bigotry, as long as it’s targeted against faithful Christians generally, and Catholics specifically,” said Steve Cortes, senior advisor for CatholicVote.

Logan Church, political director for CatholicVote, told Fox News Digital that while the event is shocking, it’s sadly not new behavior from this particular group.

“The so-called ‘Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’ have made it their mission to mock Christianity with open hostility, and this blasphemous Easter event is just the latest example,” he said.

“This is not bold, it’s not brave, and it’s certainly not art. It’s bigotry dressed in costume, and Americans are right to be outraged,” Church continued. “Let’s be clear: sacrilege is not a religion, and it is not protected under the banner of religious freedom.”

“While we live in a country that defends free speech, that does not mean Christians are required to sit silently while our faith is ridiculed. We have every right, and every reason, to push back.”

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence describe themselves as a group of “queer and trans nuns” who use humor and satire to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. However, their methods — including donning habits while performing sexually suggestive acts and portraying religious figures in provocative ways — have long drawn criticism for promoting anti-Christian sentiment.

The group was previously at the center of national controversy in 2023 when the Los Angeles Dodgers honored them during a “Pride Night” event. This move triggered public backlash and led to a temporary disinvitation before the team reinstated the group after activist pressure.

As America becomes increasingly divided over matters of faith, freedom, and expression, events like this continue to highlight the growing tension between religious conviction and cultural activism. While the drag group defends its event as satire and performance art, many Christians see it as a deliberate and hurtful attack on the very foundation of their faith — and especially offensive during the sacred Easter season.

In the words of one concerned believer on social media: “This isn’t about equality. It’s about desecrating what is holy and calling it entertainment.”
