Linda Summers: Embracing Identity Through Drag and Faith

I think, when you can do anything that lifts the spirit of others, that's spirituality, and to me, drag has always done that for our community.
What happens when faith, identity, and creativity collide? Meet Angel, a first-generation Guatemalan who navigated the complexities of being young, gay, and a person of color. His journey took a transformative turn when he became a born-again Christian in 2016. In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain,' hosted by Bonnie Violet, Angel opens up about reclaiming his identity and finding solace in the recovery community.
He shares how he learned to accept that God loves him just as he is, overcoming the fear of rejection and self-doubt that had plagued him for years. Angel's alter ego, Linda Summers, emerged as a powerful tool for healing and self-expression. Through drag, he found a way to share his most painful and beautiful experiences with the San Francisco community. This episode dives into the intersection of spirituality and drag, highlighting the importance of community and support.
Angel offers heartfelt advice for those starting their own journeys in drag and spirituality, emphasizing the need for self-acceptance and kindness. 'A Queer Chaplain' isn't just about stories; it's about creating a space where people can explore the vibrant threads of queerness and spirituality together. Whether you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community or simply curious about how faith and identity can intertwine, this episode promises to be a compelling listen.
