With drag, we only got to see one part which is awesome, right, the entertainment, the humor, the fabulousness of it. But there's also this huge activist component.
What happens when the world of drag meets the realm of spirituality? In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie Violet sits down with Isaac Simmons, better known by his drag persona, Ms. Penny Cost. At just 23, Isaac is breaking barriers as a United Methodist Certified Candidate for Ordination and Director of Operations at Hope United Methodist Church. Through his performances as Ms.
Penny Cost, he aims to reclaim religious language and dismantle the idea that queerness and faith can't coexist. During their conversation, Isaac opens up about his spiritual upbringing and how drag has become a powerful tool for activism and advocacy in his life. He shares personal stories of challenging the status quo and using art to fight against oppressive systems. The discussion also touches on the delicate balance between maintaining one's faith and embracing a queer identity.
Isaac emphasizes the importance of self-care and setting healthy boundaries with social media, offering practical advice for anyone navigating similar challenges. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for those interested in the intersection of drag, spirituality, and social change.
