If the League of the South would do more of these protests it would help end neo-Confederacy by making it clear to more people what Confederate "heritage" is really about.
A blog for the Lesbian, gay, bi, and transgender communities about neo-Confederate homophobia. Homophobia and neo-Confederacy overlap and intersect much more than is realized.

There are a lot of silly gay and Lesbian people in the South who mentally have never left the plantation and love the movie "Gone With The Wind," and basically have bought into the Lost Cause understanding of the Civil War. With this protest by the League of the South the LGBT community will see what the Lost Cause is about. Those who continue to cling to the Lost Cause will be seen as ridiculous and undermining the well being of the gay community.
