street performance movement that uses <a href="/wiki/Drag_(clothing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Drag (clothing)">drag</a> and religious imagery to <a href="/wiki/Satire" title="Satire">satirize</a> issues of sex, gender, and morality (particularly <a href="/wiki/Christian_Perspectives_on_Human_Sexuality" class="mw-redirect" title="Christian Perspectives on Human Sexuality">Christian perspectives on these topics</a>) and fundraise for charity. In 1979, a small group of gay men in San Francisco began wearing the attire of <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic</a> <a href="/wiki/Nun" title="Nun">nuns</a> in visible situations using <a href="/wiki/Camp_(style)" title="Camp (style)">camp</a> to promote various social and political causes in the <a href="/wiki/Castro_District" class="mw-redirect" title="Castro District">Castro District</a>. </p><p>From the original organization in San Francisco, the Sisters have grown throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, and South America, and are now an international network of autonomous orders. These orders are mostly registered as <a href="/wiki/Non-profit_organization" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-profit organization">non-profit</a> charity organizations that raise money for <a href="/wiki/AIDS" class="mw-redirect" title="AIDS">AIDS</a>, LGBT-related causes, and mainstream community service organizations, while promoting <a href="/wiki/Safer_sex" class="mw-redirect" title="Safer sex">safer sex</a> and educating others about the harmful effects of drug use and <a href="/wiki/Harm_reduction" title="Harm reduction">other high risk behaviors</a>. They have also protested many Christian, and specifically Catholic, events perceived as anti-LGBT, including the visit of <a href="/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II" title="Pope John Paul II">Pope John Paul II</a> to the United States. </p><p>Throughout the movement's history there have been a number of conflicts with Christian communities. The group has been characterized by several Catholic clergy, organizations and laypeople (such as the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_League_for_Religious_and_Civil_Rights" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights">Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights</a>) as <a href="/wiki/Anti-Catholicism" title="Anti-Catholicism">anti-Catholic</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Hate_group" title="Hate group">hate-group</a> for impersonating and mocking Catholic practices and beliefs, including <a href="/wiki/Religious_sister" title="Religious sister">religious sisters</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-CNA-2023_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CNA-2023-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Willingham-2023_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Willingham-2023-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Cazares-2023_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cazares-2023-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Inception">Inception</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sisters_of_Perpetual_Indulgence&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Inception"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence made their first appearance on <a href="/wiki/The_Castro,_San_Francisco,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="The Castro, San Francisco, California">Castro Street</a> in San Francisco in 1979.
