I think that's the thing that's like you know. Like life, you know creation, that which gives life. It is, and that was the thing that drew me, it's like you know, and the things that drag artists do for the community, like, are the things that I want my preachers or pastors or, you know, leaders in my church or my community settings to do.
Imagine a drag queen with Appalachian roots, swaying her hips and slaying shame, all while belting out soulful tunes. That's Flamy Grant for you. In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie Violet sits down with Flamy Grant, a singing/songwriting drag queen whose debut album 'Bible Belt Baby' is turning heads. Born from the heart of the 90s Lilith Fair vibe, Flamy’s music is a blend of gospel and Americana, shining a spotlight on the queer spiritual journey.
She shares stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma, demanding a reckoning for an industry that has long silenced LGBTQ+ voices. Flamy's art isn’t just about entertainment; it’s a bold statement against exclusion and a call for inclusivity in religious music. She’s also the founder of Heathen Podcast, where she talks about breaking up with bad religion.
If you're curious about how drag and spirituality can coexist, or how music can be a healing force, this episode is a must-listen.
