✨ Holding space. Sharing stories. Sparkling the sacred. ✨
Hosted by Bonnie Violet Quintana — a trans femme genderqueer spiritual drag artist and digital chaplain — A Queer Chaplain podcast is where healing meets glitter, spirituality meets skepticism, and the sacred is reclaimed, one story at a time.
This podcast is a soft landing for the tender, the curious, the ex-religious, the spiritual-ish, the seekers, the creators, the joyful, the recovering, and the beautifully complicated. Each episode weaves together interviews, reflections, and spiritual drag — pulling threads from across Bonnie Violet’s work as a community organizer, podcaster, and chaplain.
Whether we’re talking about gender blessings, queer grief, trans joy, drag as ministry, or the awkward holiness of just being human — this is a space for honest conversation, healing possibilities, and connection that doesn’t require belief — just curiosity.
Expect episodes that dip into:
- ✨ Stories from LGBTQ2SIA+ folks healing from and reimagining spiritual life
- 🎭 Sacred drag performances and reflections
- 🧘♀️ Queer recovery, rituals, and rites of passage
- 🎤 Highlights from Bonnie’s many projects like Trans Joy Boise, Drag & Spirituality, Cut & Uncut, and more
- 💒 Spiritual services — from weddings to memorials to drag blessings — and the radical ways we honor each other
This is your digital sanctuary — with rhinestones

“She’s not here to fix or convert — just to accompany, witness, and help people feel more connected and more themselves.”
