Falcon/NakedSword Creative Director Sister Roma Honored by the State of California

Falcon/NakedSword Creative Director Sister Roma Honored by the State of California

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence drag performer/activist and Falcon/NakedSword Creative Director Sister Roma was honored today by the California legislature as part of a resolution declaring June “LGBTQ+ Pride Month.” 

The legislature’s LGBTQ Caucus invited Roma, along with tennis player Billie Jean King, actor Harry Lit, filmmaker Eugene Lee Yang and others, to be part of the celebration, gay news site The Advocate reported.

Roma, who was invited by Sen. Scott Wiener, received a standing ovation for the work she and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have done on behalf of the state and global LGBTQ+ community. Roma described her duties in the organization as “activist, fundraiser, public speaker, Master of Ceremonies and glamorous clown.”

“We literally minister to our community,” Roma told the LA Times this week. “We spread joy, we feed the hungry, we provide supplies and care to the unhoused community, we minister to the sick, we support the youth. My existence is not an attack on your faith. The problem is some people use their faith as an attack on my existence.”

Roma was introduced to the adult industry by her best friend, longtime Falcon employee Michael Youens, aka drag performer Shanté.

“It was friendships with Chi Chi LaRue and Steven Scarborough that really brought me into the fold,” she told XBIZ’s JC Adams in 2021. “I started doing freelance graphic work and eventually Steven hired me as his art director. A few years later, John Rutherford suggested to Tim Valenti that I would be a good co-host for a new live-format adult industry online talk show he was producing and ‘The Tim and Roma Show’ was born. Thanks to lifelong friendships and successful business relationships like these, I have always felt completely at home in the adult industry. I am very proud of my career and I love my big porn family.”
