An anti-LGBTQ+ activist helped a drag queen become America’s #1 Christian musician

For the first time in history, a drag queen’s album has attained the number one spot on the Christian and Gospel iTunes music charts, and it’s all due to an anti-LGBTQ+ Christian whose attempt to shame her spectacularly backfired.

Last month, Christian musician Derek Webb collaborated with Christian drag musician Flamy Grant for the music video to “Boys Will Be Girls,” Webb’s song about loving queer people who have been abandoned by the church.

One teacher said she felt like she and her coworker “were treated like criminals.”

In the video, Grant helps Webb transform into a blue-haired drag queen, and the two sing the song’s final verse inside of a church.

The final verse states: “I heard Jesus loved and spent his life with those who / Were abandoned by proud and fearful men / So if a church won’t celebrate and love you / They’re believing lies that can’t save you or them / ‘Cause you’re so beautiful by any name.”

Apparently upset by the video, anti-LGBTQ+ Christian activist Sean Feucht — a man who accused Disney of “fighting for children to be sexually indoctrinated as a kindergartner” — wrote via Twitter on July 26 that Webb is part of the “deconstruction movement,” a movement within the Evangelical Christian church urging people to question and leave behind any negative religious beliefs that they were raised with.

Feucht wrote, “If you’re wondering the end goal of the deconstruction movement in the church, then look no further than former worship leader @derekwebb’s new collab with a drag queen. These are truly the last days.”

In response, Grant wrote, “End goal? Baby, we’re just getting started. [wink kiss emoji].”

Feucht responded, “Well good for us hardly anyone listens or cares what you do. Bad for you is that one day you’ll sit before Jesus and give an account for the perversion you tried to force on kids.”

Well good for us hardly anyone listens or cares what you do. Bad for you is that one day you’ll sit before Jesus and give an account for the perversion you tried to force on kids. There’s a verse about a millstone to warn you (Matt 18:6).
