Sister Glo is an HIV educator and gay men’s health advocate. She is drawn to sparkly objects and believes that glitter and the transformative power of love in action are necessary to gay men’s health and wellness.
If you take the word Domine (which means teacher, or clergyman) and you add –trix (which makes it the female connected with a certain thing) you should get a female teacher or a female clergyman. But spoken it comes out Dominatrix (Dominator + -trix) and you get a dominant female partner in a sadomasochistic relationship. This says a lot about me, and why I chose this name. I am a teacher. I am feminine. I am dominant. I am also more than the sum of my parts, and often I am misunderstood due to what people hear as opposed to the true meaning of my components.
The message I would most like to get out to people… Don’t take anyone on hearsay. Take the time to get to know everyone you can. We all have a lesson to teach, and sometimes life’s lessons come from very unexpected places. Keep in mind we all come from unique backgrounds and perspectives, but we are all in this together.
Also… Life is way too short for all of the self doubt, and self deprecation that we use to put ourselves in bondage.
mmmm… bondage…

Sister Metro arrived in Seattle in 2004 on the back of a Kosher apple truck. Armed with only a piercing sceptic glare and a nose for charlatans and snake-oil salesmen, this fresh, rosy-cheeked nun soon found her way on Capitol Hill, arriving at the Abbey of St. Joan in mid-2009. At first charming and congenial, then wise and…ummm…penetrating, she soon became part of the Abbey, ministering to the LGBT and Latino communities with quiet charm and humor.
A denizen of exotic locales that serve strong drinks, hot men, and good conversation, she’ll switch from biting humor and ribaldry to patient kindness, indulging her flock’s need for a kind word or simply an attentive and non-judgmental ear. Partial to Otters, Capybaras, and Crows, but kind to all our Mother’s creatures, she’ll be sure to share a good story with a mischievous glint in her eye and spread Sister magic wherever she goes.
Note: Sister Metro has decided to take a temporary sabbatical till February 2025
Beware, this formula has been known to enchant and embrace all walks of life. She may just cast a spell on YOU.

Tonight we have Sister Bebe Jeebus of the not-so-Immaculate Manger. Some people think she was born in a barn. Pffft
In the center of the room is the manger, the queen sized manger of love.
In the corner are the beautiful things that represent Bebe.
Glitter, for shining the golden ray of the sun even in the dark.
“If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater.” – Margaret Weis
A long, long time ago in a land far, far away… there was a young freckled face kid that called a small town in Florida home. This kid eventually made the very long journey to Seattle and within a few years of being lost in the bar scene of Capital Hill… a deep calling for public service surfaced. Initial encounters with The Sisters brought a great sense of humility and pride. Finally attending a meeting in Spring 2005, eventually progressing to a Fully Professed Sister in the fall of 2007, Sister Amore found a Calling. The journey into the Sisterhood was filled with many learning opportunities and will continue to be a journey of learning opportunities. For this reason Sister Amore is blessed to participate.
We know what we are, but not what we may be
