Skillet frontman John Cooper is calling out what he sees as a “wimpy and weak” Christianity that has resulted in a drag queen showing up at the Dove Awards.
Cooper’s comments to Church Leaders came days after progressive drag queen “Flamy Grant” and songwriter Derek Webb showed up at the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards. Webb, who has won Dove Awards in the past, showed up to the Christian event in a dress.
“As a cis, straight, white man, I walk into a room like that (and any room) with an incredible amount of advantage and privilege,” Webb said in a video. “If I’m attending as an ally of friends and colleagues, I should do everything possible to surrender that privilege at the door.”
