Queer Bashing On The Rise In The Gayborhood
"Are things getting worse? Less tolerant? What is happening?" writes a Face Book subscriber. "Maybe I am a little too idealistic, but I thought things were fairly coexistent and peaceful in this area. Is it outside forces or what?

Hard French party at El Rio
The Hard French party at El Rio is an ardently and successfully all-gender, all-sexuality crowd, so if you're feeling out of place, maybe you're wearing the wrong shoes? The theme this time around, a take-off on the Gidget-slasher-surf genre film, invited attendees to don bikinis, colored balls, and badminton rackets, and work it out on the backyard patio. DJs Brown Amy and Carnita plus special guest Dick Vivian (of Rooky Ricardo's Records) brought the soul. Guests brought the hairdos. - Emily Savage in SF Weekly. All photos by Hanna Quevedo.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® is a leading-edge Order of queer nuns. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.
