Is Johnnyswim LGBTQ-Affirming? Amanda Sudano Ft. In Gender-Bending Drag Song
JOHNNYSWIM is an American folk-pop duo comprised of married couple Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano Ramirez. They met after a church service in Nashville and founded the band in 2005. The duo gained prominence with their 2014 album Diamonds and when Chip and Joanna Gaines selected their song “Home” as the theme for Fixer Upper, sparking a 20-year friendship. They also have a show, At Home on the Road, on the Magnolia Network.
Like the Gaines, the Ramirezes are professing Christians. Abner has stated in an interview with Relevant magazine:
“I believe in Jesus. I believe in the Holy Spirit. I believe in the gifts of the spirit. I believe that He set me free. When I need guidance, I pursue Him,. I believe that, when we go in the room as Johnnyswim, and we sing songs, there’s an opportunity as representatives of Jesus Christ and God himself, there are opportunities for healing in bodies and souls and minds and relationships, and we fight for that. When we’re singing, that’s the motivation behind our words, but motivation behind the voice coming out of our lungs, the breath coming out of us is that we believe through the power of God Himself, you can be changed.”
They previously led worship at Joel Osteen’s church, toured with Lauren Daigle, partnered with Gateway Church, and joined Crowder for a rendition of “Because He Lives” at Passion City Church for Easter.
However, in 2019, in a little known collaboration, Amanda Sudano Ramirez joined with Lisa Gungor (of Gungor) to be featured on the song “Woman,” released under Gungor’s project Isa Ma. With a mere 21,569 views on YouTube and slightly over 620K streams on Spotify, the song was created to “celebrate everyone who identifies as ‘woman,'” with its music video prominently featuring a man applying lipstick and putting on dress, dancing while he’s presented as a “woman.”
This all the while Ramirez sings:
She
Heart that’s good, spirit strong
Fierce and feminine
She is woman
Woman
From Love herself
God herself
Body blood and soul
She is beautiful woman
Beautiful girl
Very, very troubling.
Other notable Christian bands that have come out as gay-afirming include Amy Grant, Jennifer Knapp, Jars of Clay, DC Talk’s Kevin Max, Relient K, Switchfoot, The Rend Collective, Five Iron Frenzy, and Plumb, Sara Groves,
