Drag Show Sparks Outrage for Mocking Jesus in Easter Event Aimed at Kids
Alright, let’s talk about something that’s been making headlines and stirring up quite a bit of controversy. Over in San Francisco, a group known as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence —a self-proclaimed “order of queer and trans nuns”—put on an Easter-themed drag show that’s getting attention for all the wrong reasons. The event was titled "No Easter Without the T" , meant to honor transgender identity. But here’s the thing—it was openly marketed as family-friendly, complete with a children’s Easter egg hunt, yet parts of the show were so provocative that even the organizers warned it might not be appropriate for kids. That’s a huge contradiction, right?
Now, what really caused the uproar was the way Christianity—and specifically Jesus—was portrayed. The show included a costume contest inviting participants to come dressed as “Hunky Jesus” and “Foxy Mary.” And we're not just talking about playful costumes here—past winners included titles like “Pro-Choice Mary,” “Black Woman as God,” and “Transgender Maria de Guadalupe.” There were also photos showing men dressed as Jesus in high heels, lingerie, and scanty outfits, holding signs that read things like “Can I get a gaymen?” and “Haus of Jesus.”

You don’t have to be religious to recognize how deeply offensive that could feel to people of faith. The Catholic advocacy group CatholicVote didn’t hold back either—they called the event outright blasphemous and accused the organizers of openly mocking Christianity. And I mean, when you think about it, they're not wrong to be upset. It’s one thing to express yourself artistically or politically, but there’s a line between expression and outright disrespect.
Libs of TikTok, a conservative social media account, slammed the event for what they saw as blatant hypocrisy—saying the show isn’t suitable for children, while still inviting kids to attend. That’s what really strikes a nerve. If even the people putting on the show acknowledge that part of it might be inappropriate, why push it as a kid-friendly Easter celebration?
Look, in America, we value freedom of speech, expression, and religion. But that freedom goes both ways. Just because something’s legal doesn’t make it acceptable to everyone. People of faith—Christians, Catholics, anyone really—have every right to push back when they see their deeply held beliefs being turned into punchlines or costume contests.
And honestly, this isn’t about canceling drag or art or whatever label someone wants to put on it. It’s about mutual respect. It’s about knowing where to draw the line, especially when it comes to sacred traditions and children. We need to be able to have open conversations about these things—without being silenced or dismissed as intolerant just for saying, “Hey, this isn’t okay.”
So yeah, it’s a heated topic, and there’s a lot of emotion on both sides. But at the end of the day, if we want a truly inclusive society, we’ve got to include everyone —including the people who don’t want to see their faith ridiculed in the name of entertainment.
