Semler grew up as the kid of a priest. Now they are making music about their life and the rejection they faced in the church.

While they don’t consider themselves a Christian artist, singer Semler, who identifies as non-binary, made their way to number one on the iTunes Christian music charts.

"I was raised and conditioned in a society and church culture that was pretty, I would say vague, or sort of treated LGBTQ people as like this taboo thing that we're not going to talk about," Semler said. While the reception has been good for Semler in some circles, you won’t hear them on contemporary Christian music stations. Online debates have sparked conversation over what actually makes Christian music.

In 2016, former Everyday Sunday singer Trey Pearson told fans he was gay. The band broke up shortly after.
