“Queer Church” Documentary Celebrates Faith, Drag, and Liberation

May 19, 2026MCC News

In a current climate where LGBTQ+ individuals and spaces are facing renewed political and social targeting, finding authentic moments of joy, resistance, and spiritual affirmation is more vital than ever. If you are looking for a powerful reminder of the resilience of our community, we have something deeply hopeful to put on your radar.

Faith, Drag, and Radical Acceptance

The acclaimed documentary Queer Church offers a beautiful, defiant look at what happens when faith meets absolute inclusion. The film follows transgender Pastor Drew Stever and the congregation of The House of the Lord as they host a queer-centric service on the first Sunday of Pride.

At the heart of this celebration are drag queens who have been disavowed by their traditional home churches. Instead of being cast aside, they are centered, celebrated, and spiritually embraced. In a exciting nod to pop culture, one of the featured queens in the film, the phenomenal Hershii LiqCour-Jeté, is currently showcasing her talents on the global stage as a competitor on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 11.

“A brilliant and blessed contribution to Queer Liberation Theology, the church, and the community.” — Film Reviewer
