LGBTQ Symbolism, Acceptance, Peace, Love

Welcome to Beneath the Magnolia Trees, where we delve into the rich tapestry of Southern folklore and expressive culture to unravel the complexities of LGBTQ+ stigma in the Southern United States. Our website aims to illuminate the enduring struggles faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in this region through the lens of folklore, literature, and cultural narratives. By exploring the stories, traditions, and beliefs deeply rooted in Southern culture, we seek to challenge ingrained prejudices and foster a more inclusive understanding of queer identities. Through scholarly analysis and empathetic exploration, we aim to empower individuals to confront discrimination and advocate for social change within their communities. Join us on this journey as we uncover the untold stories and amplify the voices of those marginalized by stigma and prejudice.
