Summary
A documentary featuring Sister Missionary P. Delight, one of the founders of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a fascinating group of individuals, mostly Radical Faeries living between San Francisco and the deep South who are men impersonating nuns. They have made an invaluable contribution to both the queer community and to the sexual liberation movement. The group was at the forefront of one of the most memorable gay-rights movements in history, redefining queer identity through spirituality while "promulgating joy and expiating stigmatic guilt."
