S9 Ep: 03 History of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence with Sister Vish-Knew
Sister Vish-Knew is one of the founders of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Coming 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.
At the same time, Sister Vish-Knew formed a traveling drag performance troupe in Iowa City called the Sugar Plum Fairies. Shortly after this, Sister Vish-Knew and a few other friends founded the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Over time, the organization has grown into a worldwide LGBTQ+ rights activist and non-profit group, with chapters all over the world standing up for LGBTQ+ rights.
In May 2024, Michaela, Jae and Susan, had the honor and privilege of speaking with Sister Vish-Knew about the origins of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
