Southern Identity, The Liberal Rednecks

After reading this piece on the Liberal Rednecks I believe they successfully hit a lot of pressing topics that resonated with many other people. One of which being the stereotype that every small town citizen has the same ideals and conservative opinions as their environment which they clearly point out that is not true with clear cut examples from the three boys. One big point they kept reiterating was the stigma revolving around transphobia and homophobia, I noticed how they brought this up in almost every show as this was one of their centerpieces of their work and what they stood for. One of the factors in this piece I find problematic is how they constantly lessen the worth and value of a church or small southern community by exposing it to the stereotypes they use in every show to better what they want to believe in without thinking of the impact it has on these places.
