In celebration of Pride Month, this week Ron's has an inspiring and moving interview with musician and queer Christian, Grace Baldrige of Semler Music. Grace was the host and producer of the Refinery 29 video series "State of Grace" which explored the intersection of faith and the LGBTQ+ community. The series garnered over six million views, and as an accomplished musician, Grace has grown to become a respected influencer speaking to the issues that face queer Christians.
