the forces of bigotry,
complacency and guilt that
chain the human spirit.”
While the Music City
Sisters are celebrating
their 10 year anniversary
this year, they’ve had to
cancel all planned events
until recently. We spoke
with the Sisters to find out
more about their purpose,
how COVID-19 has affected
them, and what we have to
look forward to from the
organization.
Focus Middle Tennessee:
What types of events
and fundraisers do the
Music City Sisters host
and who benefits from the
fundraisers?
Music City Sisters of
Perpetual Indulgence: Last
year your Music City Sisters
raised over ten thousand
dollars that we granted to
Middle Tennessee LGBTQ+
organizations. We have
several fundraising events
each year including The
Pink Panty Pulldown, The
Freak and Fetish Fashion
Show, Soak A Sister, Bitches
Ball and many more. We are
a non-profit organization
working with local LGBTQ+
organizations to help those
in need.
FMT: How has COVID-19
affected the MCSPI?
MCSPI: COVID-19 has
been extremely tough
for the Sisters across the
globe. We are a community
outreach organization. We
go where we are needed.
We hug people, give them
a smile, listen to them and
generally try to make them
feel fabulous. This is nearly
impossible to do virtually.
We have been challenged
to continue our work
online. We have been going
through a metamorphosis
of sorts. We long for the
day we can hit the streets
again and hug people!
FMT: How can our readers

FMT: Any upcoming
events we can look
forward to?

working on the Bitches
Ball, where performers
of all stripes compete to
raise the most money and
win the BB crown at the
end of October. You can
find more information
on all social media by

Sisters.
FMT: Anything else you
would like to add?
MCSPI: We want the
readers to know that we
Music City Sisters support
all LGBTQ+ people no
matter race, gender,
religion, creed, or anything
else. You are exactly who
you are supposed to be
and you are beautiful! We
also encourage everyone
to make a plan and vote or
vote early and have your
voice heard.
Don’t forget, as Sister
Mary Chastity Mistress of
Propaganda and Media
says, “It’s what’s under the
coronet that counts.”
