Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence demonstrating with Outrage!
The order was formed around 1979 in response to attacks on the queer community by fundamentalist religious organisations, its tenets are:
- 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]
in 2003 the Manchester house of the order produced the Polari Bible.
The London branch of the order, re-formed in 2007, is the London House of Common Sluts SPI,[3]
