Making It as a Trans Christian Musician
About this episode
The episode features Semler and Flamy Grant discussing the intersection of faith and queer identity in Christian music.
Easter is this Sunday and we know that, for many in our trans community, faith can be complicated. That’s definitely true for Semler, a queer, nonbinary Christian music artist who grew up a preacher’s kid. Now, Semler draws on both their faith and their queer identity to create a new kind of Christian music that’s topping charts and making waves. This week’s Trans Joy features Flamy Grant, the shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singer-songwriter drag queen from Asheville, NC.
