The Modern Southern Gentleman...

Where tradition meets the 21st century

About the author

The modern and traditional can coexist peacefully. This is a place to explore what it means to be a true Southern gentleman and what it's like to grow up in the South, never quite fitting into what is expected, as well as general issues affecting Southerns today. From GLBT rights to race relations to general Southern culture, all will be explored.

For general purposes, the South consists of the following states: Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. But in the spirit of the "New South" and my own personal experience with their cultures, I may at times include Eastern Arkansas, Northern/Panhandle/Inland Florida, Southern Kentucky, Southeastern Missouri, and Eastern Texas.

Questions for the gentleman?

I’m not surprised there’s a suicide coming out of TN. Look at how they treat their Queer in there laws. It’s legal for them to discriminate against queer in employment, among other things.

The wording of the OP cuts me the wrong way. This is a tragedy, obviously. But I would like to point out that there are plenty of us working to change Tennessee laws. This isn’t a state that isn’t trying, but it will take time.
