HAPPY PRIDE MONTH QUEER FRIENDS AND ALLIES ALIKE!

This week, Gregg and Mary discuss confrontations with gate-crashing ne'er-do-wells, sweet national happenings involving Queer celebrations, and talk about community and legacy with Sister Mary Media, one of the FOUNDERS of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence!

The Sisters are an order of queer and trans nuns who’ve been a California staple since 1979. They devote themselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment, while using humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.
