Making It as a Trans Christian Musician

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.Send your trans joy recommendations to translash_podcast @ translash [dot] org Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on TikTok, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, and Facebook.Follow Imara Jones on Instagram (@Imara_jones_), Threads (@imara_jones_), Bluesky (@imarajones.bsky.social), X (@ImaraJones)Check out our guests on social media: Instagram: @gracebaldridgeTikTok: @semlerrrrInstagram: @flamygrantTiktok: @flamygrant Hosted on Acast.
