Flamy Grant, the drag queen who attended this year’s Dove Awards alongside Derek Webb (Caedmon’s Call) and Grace Baldridge (Semler), performed at a Baptist church in Virginia on Saturday (Dec. 2).
Matthew Blake is an openly queer man who dresses in drag and goes by the stage name “Flamy Grant.” “I’m a singing/songwriting drag queen named after arguably the most successful Christian artist of all time,” Grant says.
“A SHAME-SLAYING, HIP-SWAYING, SINGING-SONGWRITING QUEEN,” reads the concert series promotion from Grace Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia. “The comedy queen with the blistering voice, Flamy Grant, is a gospel and roots musician from the Bible Belt who will move you, soothe you, help you heal some trauma and always leave you laughing.”

The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CFB) church boasted of Flamy Grant’s achievements, saying Grant is the first drag queen to release a “full-length contemporary Christian album.” The church also touted the fact that Grant climbed to the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Christian album charts and landed a Top 20 spot on Billboard’s Christian Digital Song Sales for a collaboration with Webb on the single “Good Day.”
The concert was free, but the church asked for donations to be given to Diversity Richmond, a LGBTQ+ organization that describes itself as “the hub for the LGBTQ+ community of Greater Richmond connecting people, partners and programs through our work as a catalyst, a voice, a place and a resource.”
Photos posted by Grant showed two protestors, one of whom was holding a sign that read: “Watching drag queens will drag you to hell – Romans 1:18-32.” The other was speaking though a bullhorn. Another photo showed a handful of the church pews that were filled with concertgoers.
Flamy Grant posted on social media that the protestor holding the sign is named Kaylee and that her husband was the one street preaching.
“She and her husband were my first ever in-person protesters at yesterday’s show in Richmond, VA,” Grant said. “The video is clipped from the livestream from the bodycam she was wearing. She’s responsible for her actions, yes. But I also know the dynamics at play here.”
“I see the effort you put into that sign, girl,” Grant added. “You’ve got a creative spirit and you take pride in your work. I hope one day you get to channel that energy into something that makes you happy and helps others. Rooting for you. 🫶.”
Also on social media, Grant told Lil Nas X, an openly gay rapper who is the creator of Satan Shoes, that it’d be an “absolute honor” to be able to collaborate with him after he teased last week that he was entering his “Christian era.”
The drag queen has raised over $50,000 on Kickstarter for a new record and is joining Dove Award-winning singer Webb early next year on a tour they are calling “End of Days.”
God bless you Kaylee and your husband.
From the images on the link it was a packed church too.

I doubt many people had even heard about here in the Richmond area. it’s not like the local radio news talkies talked about it and the local media had nary a peep other than what was published thru news sources thaty the thread poster put up.
A lot of people were saddened over the events of Amy Grant’s life and this “Flamy Grant” creature is a twist of the knife in the gut when it comes to memories of Amy Grant in her younger gospel singing days!

Is “Flamy Grant” a parody of pseudo-Christian Amy Grant?
Yes, Amy Grant came up through Gospel and Christian contemporary music and then moved toward Hollywood-approved thinking. Today, Amy is just as trendy as most trans “influencers”.
“Amy Grant came up through Gospel and Christian contemporary music”
“Contemporary” Christian music is a gateway to the dark side. We’re supposed to be “separate” from the world. Once AG went contemporary, it was over for her.
She’s probably thrilled about this impersonator. IIRC, she hosted a lesbian wedding at her home — for her niece, I think.
I agree Amy has pretty much become apostate. I disagree with your assessment of CCM.
“I disagree with your assessment of CCM.”
Christians ordered to be separate from the world isn’t my assessment.
I’d say Amy Grant should sue him, but she probably doesn’t see a problem with what he’s doing.
That is absolutely correct!
She’s lucky not to have a milestone around her neck in the sea 🌊.
