Sin Sity Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

The Sin Sity Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a Las Vegas chapter of men who dress outrageously as nuns in drag and do charity work to promote HIV/AIDs awareness. According to the Las Vegas Weekly they "The Las Vegas chapter of the Sisters — a vocational order of mostly male nuns in drag, with 30 chapters and missions around the country — take no government money and vow to help those in need, without judgment. Since 2005, they have become increasingly visible in the Vegas community — doing "bar ministry," where they hand out condoms and promote safer sex, attending HIV/AIDS events or fundraisers and generating awareness at arts events."
