My guest today is Isaac Simmons. Isaac is a 23 year old openly gay drag queen who recently was certified as a candidate for ordained ministry in The United Methodist Church. He’s the first openly queer person to be certified in his conference and reportedly the first drag queen to be a candidate for ministry anywhere in the world. As his alter ego Ms. Penny Cost, Isaac speaks around the country seeking to bridge the gap between queerness and spirituality.
