I think seeing what this young person is going through with their own parents is helping my mom grow more quickly than anything else could have, because as she sees this, this youth struggle, she basically decides that she doesn't want to be that mom who's making the youth struggle.
What happens when drag meets spirituality? In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie Violet sits down with Mick Douch, a drag king from Chicago, to unravel his unique journey. Mick, who started his drag persona as a frat boy type, has consciously shifted towards exploring healthier aspects of masculinity. Raised in a Protestant household, Mick's spiritual path has since taken a turn towards Buddhism and Taoism.
This episode dives deep into how Mick navigates his gender identity, the impact of toxic masculinity on the LGBTQ+ community, and the transformative power of drag. One poignant moment comes when Mick shares how witnessing a young person’s struggle with their parents over gender identity helped his own mother become more accepting. From discussing his top surgery to finding supportive communities, Mick’s story is a powerful testament to personal growth and resilience.
Tune in to hear how spirituality and creative expression can foster healing and self-discovery.
