Sister Boom-Boom
From Anarchopedia
Sister Boom-Boom, the drag persona of astrologer Jack Fertig, was one of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. In 1982, she ran for a seat on the San Francisco board of supervisors on the "Nun of the Above" ticket. She received 23,124 votes but did not win. After she started campaigning for mayor in 1983 against incumbent Dianne Feinstein, San Francisco passed a law requiring candidates to use only their legal names on the ballot. This was commonly called the "Sister Boom-Boom Law".
