Template:Male adult bio Sister ROMA! There's No Place Like Rome or simply Sister Roma is a 20 year veteran member member of San Francisco's Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Inc. She is one of the best known members of the group with many believing she is likely the most visible. According to her bio page on the Sisters' website she joined in 1987 and was the first Sister to be publicly elevated and veiled.
In 1991 Roma introduced the STOP the Violence Campaign to combat hate crimes throughout the city as well as on college campuses.
She hosts online live-format talk show about the adult pornography industry, The Tim and Roma Show. Roma has also done coverage of the GayVN Awards.
Roma has served as an emcee and celebrity judge for numerous community events including; judge at the world's longest running (and possibly largest) drag king event, the San Francisco Drag King Contest; emcee at the world's largest BDSM/leather event and California's third largest spectator event, the Folsom Street Fair; and Main Stage emcee at San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration and Parade, the largest LGBT event in the United States; emcee for Super Heroes and Villains, Krewe de Kinque's Bal Masque benefit for Tenderloin Tessie's Holiday Dinners (serving Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to homeless people of San Francisco).
Roma also acts professionally as well as more casual drag performances in clubs. In 2003 she appeared in Ronnie Larsen's Sleeping With Straight Men at Theatre Rhinoceros with Mink Stole. She also has performed at San Francisco's longest running drag show Trannyshack.
Roma writes a bi-weekly column Drag It for San Franscisco's gay alternative magazine Gloss.
