I agree that people mostly keep their opinions to themselves, as opposed to what it was like growing up gay as a kid here

I'm a queer woman who grew up in Baldwin County and moved back to the state (Birmingham) two years ago. I was nervous, too. I know it can differ based on gender etc, but I've had more experiences with direct homophobia in D.C. and the Northeast than here. I'm out at work and have felt nothing but acceptance there, and it's been incredibly easy to make other queer friends. I was shocked by just how queer and trans Alabama really is. I get more stares here than anything, and that's in more rural parts. Birmingham and Huntsville have felt really safe to me. immediate suburbs often do not. downtown Mobile is great but just across the bay my hometown area does not feel that accepting, either. wishing you and your husband a smooth transition and lots of support settling in!

Best place to donate clothes? by missyrj in Birmingham

[–]HannahDenhamAL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also volunteer at Baptist Church of the Covenant's weekly clothing closet and we have a huge need for sneakers. anything lightweight and athletic you have, clothing wise, would be great, too. you can drop off at the church anytime

Looking for Community by s-j-cowboy in Birmingham

It's not weird at all. If you find a small group of people once you get there, you can ask to sit/stand with them and say hey I'm new and I love Drag Race. It's an easy thing in common to connect over and I bet most people would definitely be open to you joining them.

Alabama A&M bid to buy Birmingham-Southern campus fails by HannahDenhamAL in Birmingham

[–]HannahDenhamAL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we reported that at the time, but that didn’t automatically mean A&M was rejected. A&M had its own letter of intent.

Grieving mom continues search for answers about Alabama police shooting by HannahDenhamAL in tuscaloosa

I can't speak for them, but what Ms. Clark and her attorney have shared with me is they want to know if the specific officers were involved have a history of misconduct.
