Sister Vish-Knew and the Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence
Sister Vish-Knew is one of the founders of the Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence, a nonprofit activist organization originally based in San Francisco. Hailing from Iowa, Sister Vish-Knew produced the first Midwest Gay Pride Conference back when the entire state of Iowa had only three gay organizations, three gay bars, and two student groups. Sister Vish-Knew also formed a traveling drag performance troupe in Iowa City called the "Sugar Plum Fairies."
Shortly after, Sister Vish-Knew moved to San Francisco and — together with a few other friends in nuns' habits — founded the Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence. Since then, the organization has grown worldwide, with chapters all over the world championing LGBTQ+ rights and promoting joy through activism.
In May 2024, Michaela, Jae, and Susan had the privilege of speaking with Sister Vish-Knew about the origins, accomplishments, and longevity of the Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence.
Meet Sister Vish-Knew!
