“Metamorphosing from middle-aged dude to ‘sacred clown’ is a regular routine for Sister Lida, a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an areligious order of queer nuns who work to ‘promulgate universal joy and eliminate stigmatic guilt.’ But during Pride Month, Sister Lida and others in the order’s Boston chapter will be ‘manifesting’ — their term for the transformation from ordinary to exotic — more or less constantly.”
