Inspiration
I was hanging with the Sisters while dating Boom Boom and Mysteria, when I volunteered to help them in the '85 Gay Parade in SF; they said the following to me: "We have good news and bad news; the good news is we'd love to have you march with us in the parade; the bad news is YOU HAVE TO BE A SISTER! I was supposed to be a one-time-only Sister Stand-In as the Yellow Nun in their six-nun rainbow of sisters (I called myself Sister Citroen Ma Face (what a lemon of a name!) and was later named Dana Van Iquity by Boom Boom. My reason for joining was to help out during the raging epidemic of AIDS (which was prejudicely called 'GAY CANCER' back then) by fund-raising, spirits-raising, and giving the queer community a badly-needed humor shot in the arm. |

I believe in the Brotherhood of Man (and Woman...and spirit...and animals and angels and all that there good stuff). I believe we were created to give and receive LOVE, and I try to do that as much as possible...although those Republicans are REALLLLLY putting me to the test! |
|
"Can't we all just get along?" I know that may sound awfully trite, but I'm serious here: I aspire to seeing every single inhabitant of the planet getting along together and having a fun time and not needing to make anyone else wrong. That's the Sisters' motto: "Expiate stigmatic guilt and promulgate universal joy." My goal is JOY! |

See above: no guilt, just joy... Oh, and if you want to pick me up in a bar when I'm in nun's habit, you need to say the following: "I just know you're a handsome man beneath all that makeup and costume." I'll follow you anywhere! And if you expect to take me home and "do stuff", you'd best know I WILL be showering off the white-face and shucking the nun's habit, cuz I ain't no cartoon-fu*ker! But I do LUV everyone as much as possible! |
