We are so excited to bring you a special interview on the pod this week! Not only did we get to preview the new season of \u201cWe\u2019re Here,\u201d but we got to interview one of the stars of the show, Latrice Royale. Latrice discusses the importance of the show and how it is shedding light on the struggles of the queer community as well as dispelling misinformation about drag. She also shares her journey of finding her purpose through drag and how it has allowed her to impact others’ lives. Our conversation explores the tension and pushback faced by the drag queens in Oklahoma and the importance of standing up for the community. Latrice emphasizes the need for people to step out of their bubbles, learn from one another, and be allies by voting for change.\xa0\n \nTakeaways\n\n‘We’re Here’ sheds light on the struggles of the queer community and dispels misinformation about drag.\nDrag can be a sacred calling and a ministry that impacts and improves lives.\nReligious teachings on homosexuality can create conflicts for queer individuals.\nInclusive churches provide a welcoming and affirming space for queer people.\nDrag queens can inspire and motivate change in communities.\nAllies need to step up and support the queer community by voting for change.\n\n \nChapters\n(1:39) Introducing our wonderful guest, Latrice Royale\n(3:01) Conversation on queerness, spirituality, and rural America\n(15:16) Latrice discusses drag as a sacred calling\n(19:39) Exploration of religious experiences in “We’re Here” and their religious background\n(22:23) Discussion on rediscovering faith during challenging times\n(25:43) Latrice reflects on their experiences in an inclusive church\n \nResources:\n\nThe new season of \u201cWe\u2019re Here\u201d is out on\xa0\nJoin the course From Affirmation to Liberation at queertheology.com/class\xa0\nJoin the\xa0 Sanctuary Collective Community\n\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.\nEPISODE TRANSCRIPT\n\n \nThe post We\u2019re Here Interview with Latrice Royale appeared first on Queer Theology.
