While some areas of the United States have made tremendous progress in securing rights
for gay people, Bible Belt states lag behind. Barton argues that conventions of small
town life, rules which govern Southern manners, and the power wielded by Christian
institutions serve as a foundation for both passive and active homophobia in the Bible
Belt. She explores how conservative Christian ideology reproduces homophobic attitudes
and shares how Bible Belt gays negotiate these attitudes in their daily lives
