But let’s be honest about the elephant in the room. One conspicuous reason the South is so far behind on issues like LGBTQ rights is precisely because we have been infantilized by national media and viewed as terrifying uncharted territory by advocacy groups. Fascinating and worth ruminating on. As one who regularly jokes that I am in self-imposed exile from my region of origin, I have many layers of complicated emotion about the South and its relationship to prejudice (not just in terms of anti-queer prejudice either). Regardless, I think its fair to say that our cultural conversations on this intersection are often remarkably and painfully over-simplified.
