Queer ‘Christian’ Artist Song Approaching ‘Top 10’ on iTunes Christian and Gospel Charts

Staff Writer

Two weeks ago we told you queer ‘Christian’ artist Semler was contacting KLove radio for airtime and hoping her new single makes it on air. Looks like she got her wish.

Semler is a newcomer to the Christian music scene, a non-binary lesbian who has been gaining some publicity after her profanity-laced album briefly held the top spot on iTunes Christian and Gospel charts. Last year she toured with Relient K, the queer-affirming former Christian band, gaining prominence and visibility. She also recently wrote the “world’s gayest worship song” after channeling the hurt of someone who “broke my heart for Jesus.”

Ticking off all the boxes you’d expect to see from a woman with her haircut, last year she raged against the ruling to overrule Roe v Wade, tweeting out a link where people could give to nearly 90 pro-choice abortion funds, then pleaded to be considered for “Best New Artist” at the 53rd annual Dove Awards, an event she ultimately attended.

Now released, her song ‘Faith’ has been inching higher and higher, and she’s been charting its trajectory.

Semler and her small army of die-hard fans have been hitting the phones hard, contacting multiple Christian radio stations to request her song. She’s also apparently got an ‘in’ with some at K-Love Christian radio, and they will purportedly be playing her music shortly.

Looks like she got her wish.
