same with many red states! i grew up in appalachia and it’s disheartening to see people suggest we should be left behind. we are fighting for change too!

Me, a liberal queer woman in a wlw relationship, living in a violently red county in rural Georgia. 🙃 I’m a blue dot, but I’m not quiet about it. I want others to know I’m here and that they are not alone.

Not to mention that I feel like there’s a lot of northerners/city folk who will assume that southerners/rural folk are conservative and small minded just bc of where they come from and how they look. I imagine that it’s extremely disheartening to be driven away by people who won’t take the time to actually get to know who you are and what you believe.

As a blue Appalachianer I’m saving this

And a reminder, no one deserves to die in a natural disaster based on the color of their state thank u <3

I hate when a queer artist avoid the south all together during their tours. they have fans here, i shouldn't have to go five hours to DC to see them. they maybe hit Florida and Texas but that's it. The south is HUGEEE
