The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are part of a worldwide order of queer men and women of all sexualities. They are noted for wearing nuns' habits at public events.

- The expiation of stigmatic guilt, and
- The promulgation of universal joy.[1]
The order is devoted to community service, ministry and outreach work, and to promoting human rights and respect for diversity.[2]
