Growing up, Iï¸ often felt outcast and lonely. A lack and community and queer role models made my youth a challenging and all-too-often, a dark journey. Whether it was at school, at church, with friends or at home, it would have been so helpful simply to know that I was not alone. Youth in our community regularly experience fear, trauma and pain due to a lack of mentorship and connection with others like us. Once again,I am partnering with Queens of the Castro to help build those bridges.
Every year Queens of the Castro opens their application to LGBTQI identified youth of 16-25 years. In the past four years QOC has granted over $45,000 in scholarships for youth to pursue their educational goals. Knowledge is power, and I want to enable our youth to seek out and connect with others like them and equip them with the tools they need in order to do so. Will you join me in supporting to make these LGBTQI youthâs dreams a reality?
Join me for a night full of love, art and intention.

â Roma Roma // The Most Photographed Nun In The Worldâ¢
SF Pride Grand Marshal
SF Most Notable Drag Queen
SF Bay Area Best Activist
For more than three decades Roma has shined as one of the most outspoken and recognizable members of the infamous Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, dedicating more than half her life to activism and FUNdraising. When sheâs not out distributing whistles with her Stop the Violence Campaign or raising money for LGBTQ Asylum sheâs probably hosting a porn industry red carpet or serving the T at her legendary RuPaulâs Drag Race viewing party. From the main stage at SF Pride to the nightclubs of Paris you never know where this fine feathered queen will pop up. Tonight sheâs honored to judge the Butch Queen pageant, a job for which she is most qualified, because honestly, is there anything butcher than a NUN?
â Ja Der // Lâenfant terrible of SOMAâs avant-garde underbelly, Jader is at once a kiss on the lips and a swift kick to the nuts. Residing in the strange, unspecified space between a fantasy and a nightmare, Jaderâs work seeks to dismantle the status quo and replace it with his twisted yet undeniably alluring dreamscapes. Working in photography, film, makeup and performance, Jader has created a trademark visual aesthetic that is difficult to forget but oftentimes just as difficult to look at. Equal parts guts, pus, and sewer slush, Jader is known for his monstrous drag looks and can often be found lurking in the dark corners of the Stud for Creature or performing with or without his septic-sisters in the collective Toxic Waste Face.
â Warren Logan// A city planner by day and a volunteer with Impulse San Francisco in his free time. As the Vice President of the San Francisco chapter, Warren is inspired to help gay men in San Francisco educate themselves about their health options; learn more about PrEP; and improve health outcomes for gay men of color in the Bay Area. Warren is single and his phone number is 619⦠I mean â lastly, Warren wishes all the contestants good luck and world peace.
