## Resource

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.
