People are always afraid of new things. They are worried that people may judge them for their decision, so they tend to hide their powerful divinity with a mask. But it’s time to end the old pattern and criticism to embrace the new world of queerness and love.

In this episode, Johnny and Dr. Lulu talk about the rebirth, transformation, and reclamation of the world that invites and accepts transness and queerness. Johnny also shares his coming out story, his family’s response to his new way of existence, and how he supports beautiful humans with his heart and art. 

Johnny Brantley III is a broadway actor, musical comedian, and a proud queer. His dream is for a better world full of love, equity, and harmony. Activism and art are Johnny’s ways of helping society to welcome the new world that accept and love the queer community.
