Abstract

Sue Sweeney-Gates, a New York native, discusses life in Mississippi as a Queer woman. Moving to Mississippi to attend the University of Mississippi, Sweeney-Gates created the LGBT legal symposium program as a student. She talks about her experiences with the social and political climate in Mississippi, and meeting her husband, a Transgender man, during her time here. Despite some of the struggles with living in Mississippi, Sweeney-Gates also highlights the progress she witnessed in Mississippi and nationally that made life a little easier for LGBTQ+ folks.
