Jinkx Monsoon Given “Sainthood” By the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

Jinkx Monsoon is a star on a continuous rise, and that trend doesn't seem to be anywhere near slowing down. The two-time RuPaul's Drag Race winner and Broadway star just wrapped up her international tour last week, but now she can now add one more accomplishment to her already ridiculously impressive multi-hyphenate: Sainthood.

No, no... not from the Catholic Church obvi. Rather, the title of Saint has been given to the Jinkx from the legendary drag artists and charity group The Sisters of Perpetual Indigence. The Sisters bestowed on Jinkx the title "Saint Abby Fab High Priestess of Heca-THEY, Patron Saint of Gems, Prison Broads, and Tardis" and honestly, I don't know if a greater name has ever been associated with sainthood—yes, that includes you, Saints Frumentius, Quitteria, and Thorlak Thorhallsson.

Jinkx's canonization occurred at the final stop of their international tour Everything At Stake; the multi-month stage show wrapped up in her hometown of Portland, Oregon. To honor her accomplishments, the Portland chapter of the Sisters of Indulgence (aka: the Order of Benevolent Bliss) issued a press release saying the title is given to "deserving individuals whose life, accomplishments, deeds, and actions align with [the Sisters’] core mission and values." Jinkx decidedly fits that bill!

In addition to calling Jinkx the "original youngest MILF in the Great Northwest," the nuns posted a video of the ceremony to Instagram praising her for her commitment to the Queer community, as well as for demonstrating the importance of existing as one's most authentic version of themself.

If you're unfamiliar with the work of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, they're a group of Drag artists who satirize Christian nuns. But their nunly couture aside, they've also been stalwarts of the Queer community for over 40 years, raising money for various LGBTQ+ organizations, and fostering a stronger community every step of the way. They were recently involved in a kerfuffle with the Los Angeles Dodgers who invited them to be honored guests as Community Heroes at the MLB team's Pride Night. After Ted Cruz and the Catholic Church complained, they initially rescinded the invite, only to then re-invite them once more after the inevitable fallout from their moronic decision.

Congrats, Jin-- excuse me... where are my reverent manners? Congratulations, Saint Abby Fab High Priestess of Heca-THEY, Patron Saint of Gems, Prison Broads, and Tardis (aka... Jinkx Monsoon).
