In this volume, authors explore the interconnected issues of
spirituality and community as they relate to queer issues in the
Deep South. The book begins with explorations of queer
spiritualities and LGBTQ people in religious settings. Next,
authors investigate and document the rise of the religious right
political movement in the South. Finally, the authors of this text
document community life for LGBTQ people in the Deep South,
including efforts to create affirming queer spaces inside otherwise
hostile locales. Through the chapters in this text, the
peculiarities of spirituality and community life 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, probe the limits of queer potentialities in Southern
religious and community contexts, and clearly point to the
interweaving of Christian religiousness, communities of practice,
the operation of white supremacist heteropatriarchy in oppression
of LGBTQ people, and the possibilities of affirming spiritual and
community praxis.
