✨ 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

Humza A. Mian aka Mango Lassi is a queer Canadian-Pakistani who currently resides in the GTA. He is a Registered Veterinary Technician who works in the downtown core, and a drag queen who got his start on social media. The focus of his drag is to bring awareness to the existence of queer Desi folk and breaking the chains of toxic masculinity that hold so many queer Desi’s back from expressing themselves. With the help of brands run primarily by PoC, Humza has branched into the world of commercial makeup artistry and is currently focusing on representing brands that encourage diversity and inclusion. His most current drag looks can be seen on his Instagram page (@_humzer) and are heavily influenced by his cultural background.

Coco Sho-Nell has been in existence for over 12 years. She began her start in andersonville performing in charity shows at the call bar. Raymond, the man behind the mascara, has been a practicing buddhist since 2004. A lot of my faith is based on acceptance and love of everyone.
