- Sisters Cristal and Alisa Ramirez of 'The Aces' share their experiences growing up in a Mormon family, their struggles with religion and queerness, and their journeys to self-acceptance. They discuss challenging traditional Mormon expectations, rebelling against societal norms, and how music has always been their North Star. The conversation also covers their relationships, changes in faith, and the importance of following what brings you joy.

I love how Rose and Rosie are like Mother to all of us
I've been listening to The Aces for years but I didn't know anything about their background. So cool that they found a way to be themselves in spite of the culture they came from and are now creating safe spaces for so many queer fans everywhere. Loved this conversation ❤
I love the Aces! That phrase Cristal said at 7:00 was so true! I grew up Catholic and am Hispanic and felt the exact same. Like I knew I was gay young, and it felt like everyone else was catching up as I got older.
Identifying who you are because society/religion tells you it wrong is so identifiable as a trans woman who grew up in the 70s and 80s. Great episode 🌈
💗💗
Such a fantastic, rich conversation! Cristal's naming of understanding their queerness in relationship to "this is wrong" is EXACTLY how I found language/understanding what I was experiencing as a 9 year old -- but in the late 60's when it was totally taboo, unsafe to be queer. It took me until I was 28 to fully come out because of this.
Amazing first double interview! Great to hear a queer Mormon raised perspective
This episode made me cry. Growing up Mormon is so hard when it's something you don't want for yourself and it can be hard with your family. Mentioning their mom reminded me of mine and how I'm so lucky that she supports me and my sister (both of us left the church, she's out and married, I am not out to my parents). I cannot fully be myself because my parents have this certain image they want me to be (mostly my dad). There are severe consequences to live in full authenticity and it's so sad I cannot be myself as a grown adult. This story is so relatable and it's something I really needed to hear.
So glad they had each-other growing up 🫶🏻
I worked a show at a venue The Aces played at on their last tour. I immediately downloaded their music and have been listening to them since. Thanks for this episode.
Love this podcast. Coming across gay guest I never heard of is great ❤️🔥
I love them, and have seen them in concert, they are awesome musicians...
Definitely one of my favorite episodes!
Their mom’s a badass! ❤
I absolutely love everything about this episode im a huge fan of The Aces amazing job cant wait for new music from them ❤🌈 👏👏👏
I was eagerly waiting for this ❤
In my next life, I desire to still be a cis woman lesbian but in a cool band that feels like home going on tours doing music, art and stuff ❤🙏☘️
This podcast makes me love being queer so much that I choose to be queer in this life time and the next till eternity...❤🌼
this is absolutely the crossover i needed
I LOVE THE ACES SO MUCH OMG!!!
On of the Best and interresting podcast today..hello from France
Love that. Having feelings we knew were wrong by standard of family and culture! So chronically devaluing our experience!
Great episode!
Play loving and supportive turn is so important, and these two are proof of that
I watched 2 min and was already hooked! What an incredible episode!! Love Love!🎉❤
I love the Aces!!!!!!!!!
This was fun listen.
Not knowing what a lesbian was… and then the L word came out 🎉
girl your hair is STUNNING!!!!!!
I admire these girls. I know Mormon Orem, the heart of Mormon land. I took far too long to get myself out of the clutches of the nonsense that is mormanism and old men getting inspiration for us all. Its such a shock when you finally realize its hokus pokus nonsense and you wont lose your children eternally. OMG was I not the hard ass Mormon mom for way too long. Wishing you much joy with a life full of good people, great music and success in everything you try your hand at.
I biggest fear is this podcast ending
"The Aces" is a cool name but I feel like "From Mormons to Gay Rockstars" is more badass. Missed opportunity. Lol. Great interview, tho.
Sorry but this is an Oscar nomination story, starting with the title
I'm hoping that they come back to Boston soon. I saw them at the Royale, and it was such a cool night.
omg I love this! I love music, and especially queer artists (as I'm a gay woman into music). You should look into having MUNA on the pod. They're a really cool queer band, and they also have a podcast of their own as well!:)
As someone who also grew up Mormon, yup to all the Mormon stuff. My gf's who have grown up in a different/relaxed religion or no religion, were hardly even aware of gays until their late teens. But for us, it's "gays are unnatural and perverts" from a young age (or at least it used to be). Therefore, i almost wonder if having to face that issue earlier in life brings more of us out of the closet compared to women/men who dont grow up in fundamentalist religions. I know quite a few from my congregation growing up that are gay, and as ive told people, it seems to be a pretty high average compared to outside of Utah.
I think it makes us be aware of the topic, but the negative thing is that it installs self-hatred that is difficult to remove in order to have a healthy acceptance. The ever lasting doubt of never knowing if we are going to hell is uncomfortable... I don't think non-religious families/gays go through that...
6:46 wow yep exactly. I’ve never been able to put that feeling into words until now. You feel so guilty about something you were taught is wrong but you don’t know why. If I wasn’t gay I don’t think I would’ve felt that way.
Go Aces!!
I love your content! Thank you! I would love to see a video on the topic of “unwanted consensual” sex when you are closeted and in a hetro relationship. I believe I have truama from all the years of not listening to my body and forcing myself to have sex with my husband out of guilt and wanting to do what was right. Coming out at 34 now, and looking back at the severe anxiety I felt when he wanted sex. And also still dealing with unwanted resentment toward him. A video on this topic would be awesome!
Always nice to hear from my fellow ex-mo's!
Yay. See you in Indianapolis next weekend! 🎉 Manifesting a sea of lesbians at your show and a cute one just for me 😊
hoping for the same!!!!
i keep waiting for them to be ace... but i guess the ace bands will have to come up with more creative names
Why would they posture to be people that they aren’t? 🙄
@@tananario23 i didn't know anything about them and seeing the title, thought they would be aces. I think it'd a valid question why you would name your band after a community you're not a part of, but I assume it's ignorance
❤❤❤

Such great perspectives from religious PoV! Thank you 🙏 !! I LOVE this pcast ❤️🔥❤️🔥!!! Side note: Fer me… it’s like, the raspiness into the low register of the voice. Like… MUST be a millennial/zoomer thing? Like… Maybe that’s just like, fer me? 🤔 (like, this is just an interesting honest observation, like, zero disrespect 💟☮️🕉️☯️)
Do you know Shannon B? :))))))))))
Who? Mal? As in Shan Beveridge?
@@_asantesana_squashbanana_ I was kidding, of course they know each other.
Must we have quite so many ads? I’m paying for RUclips premium and also Spotify premium and still no escape from random adverts in the middle of the podcast flow. Disappointing.
We don't place the ads but will speak to our network to let them know - thank you for pointing it out!!
00:28, is there a prettier woman on the planet?
Conversation is interesting but I get so tired of hearing the word “like” constantly.
They got better as the episode went on! I think she was nervous.
Maybe it's 'like' a Los Angeles thing lol
I like it ☺️
It's funny, it was such a millenial thing but there have been two gen z guests that have used it a lot hahaha
I agree, enough with the “like, like, like”! It drives me nuts!
Listening to people who say “like” every five words makes my ears bleed and my brain cringe. I enjoy Made It Out and am interested in what these women have to say, but this 76 year old publisher/editor/illustrator just can’t deal.
