On Thursday, January 20th, Ryan’s and Tomas’ classes had a joint meeting with a very special guest speaker: Sister Unity from the Los Angeles Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The sisterhood which she and our Professor Ryan are part of, also called LA Drag Nuns, is an Order of 21st century nuns “dedicated to the promulgation of universal joy and the expiation of stigmatic guilt.”
Sister Unity told the students about her past experiences with the union, the drag universe and queer activism in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Stories of homophobia lived and brave fighting against prejudice were beautifully shared. You can access and watch the full recording of the zoom meeting here.
