In this volume, authors explore the interconnected issues of public
health and public policy as they relate to queer issues in the Deep
South. The book begins with a sustained examination of public
health, health disparities, and mental health for LGBTQ people in
the South. Next, the issues of public policy and public advocacy,
including law enforcement, community advocacy and activism, and
public life in the Deep South are taken up. Through the chapters in
this text, the peculiarities of public health and public policy for
LGBTQ people in the Deep South are explored. However, this volume
also points to trends, themes, and dynamics at work in the Deep
South that are also implicated in the queer experience in other
parts of the U.S. The authors of this text push readers to think
deeply about these issues. They clearly highlight the systemic
nature of oppression of queer people in the South through
institutions of medicine, mental health discourses, the criminal
justice system, and public life including Pride and Mardi Gras.
Taken together, the authors in this volume call for reform,
liberation, and conscientization and queerly envision the future of
health and policy in the Deep South.
