This year San Francisco Pride hits close to home at Hot House; our very own Sister Roma has been named Community Grand Marshal! Roma’s friends and fans turned out in record-breaking numbers to vote online, electing her to lead the SF Pride Parade and appear on television, radio and at countless events as an official ambassador to Pride. Inconspicuous Art Director by day; raging drag queen, activist/fundraiser and party girl by night, Sister Roma is celebrating her 25th year with the notorious Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence. In that time she has been on the front lines in the war against HIV/AIDS, actively involved in raising $1 million for charity. Undoubtedly, Roma’s good deeds are many and well known, but let’s not get carried away, this Sister is no Saint! From Folsom Street to Bourbon Street to Halsted Street, Roma’s antics are legendary. What better way to kick off Pride than a night roasting the Grand “Marshmallow?” Join some of Roma’s closest and dearest friends including Hot House head honchos Steven Scarborough and Brent Smith, drag superstars Chi Chi LaRue, Heklina, Donna Sachet, Peaches Christ, BeBe Sweetbriar, Sasha Soprano, and SF politico Bevan Dufty – to name a few – as they share their memories (and horror stories) of Sister Roma! Join the fun on Wednesday, June 20 at the Supperclub. Proceeds benefit Tenderloin Tessie Holiday Dinners and the Sisters Stop The Violence Campaign. Get your tickets today, they’re selling fast! Your ticket to the Roma Roast also gets you admission to PornFest, the XXX-tra dirty after party hosted by Chi Chi and Heklina at Rebel. It’s going to be epic. Look for Roma leading the Parade on Sunday, June 24. For more information and a full list of Pride events visit the SF Pride Website. Follow Roma’s schedule on Facebook and Twitter. Have a happy, safe, and very gay Pride!

This week San Francisco Pride promises a series of parties, dances, bashes and other events that cater to the LGBT community, all leading up to the main event: the Pride Parade on Sunday. As always the huge procession will roll right down the middle of Market Street, from the Embarcadero to Civic Center. After you’ve had your fill of entertainment on the main stage and visited the hundred or more vendor booths, shake your booty over to the Cat Club ( 1190 Folsom) for Trannyshack vs. Big Top! This over-the-top party brings together two of the city’s favorite parties, presented by two nightlife powerhouses, Heklina ( Trannyshack) and Joshua J. (Big Top). It only seems fitting that Hot House should be a sponsor, bringing porn superstar Ethan Wolfe and everyone’s favorite drag icon Sister Roma to host the VIP adult-only front room. Check out the backroom for a not-to-be-missed drag show starring some of San Francisco’s leading drag performers! Arrive early, this party will definitely sell out and be slammed. See you there!
