Baker A. Rogers Speaking Topics

“Some of My Best Friends are Gay”: The Influence of Social Contact on Queer Rights

In this lecture, I examine Mississippi Christians’ beliefs about homosexuality and gay and lesbian civil rights and whether having a gay or lesbian friend or family member influences those beliefs. Beliefs about homosexuality and gay and lesbian rights vary widely based on religious affiliation. Despite having gay or lesbian friends or family members, evangelical Protestants believe homosexuality is sinful and oppose gay and lesbian rights. Mainline Protestants are largely supportive of gay and lesbian rights and become more supportive after getting to know gay and lesbian people. Catholics describe a greater degree of uncertainty and a conditional acceptance of gay and lesbian rights; clear differences between conservative and liberal Catholics are evident. Overall, conservative Christians, both evangelical Protestants and conservative Catholics, hold a religious identity that overshadows their relationships with gay and lesbian friends or family. Conservative religion acts as a deterrent to the positive benefits of relationships with gay and lesbian people.
Welcome to the Danger Zone: Trans Equality in the Southeastern US

Although LGBTQ+ people have experienced increased acceptance and visibility over the past decade, the Southeastern US continues to lag behind the rest of the country in terms of supporting LGBTQ+ people. Nevertheless, over a third of all queer people in the U.S. live in the Southeast. Overall, the South is a unique geographic location, both in reality and in the national imagination. In this talk, I focus on trans lives and experiences in the Southeastern US. I examine trans peoples’ ability to receive equal rights and resources, and how these are still influenced by oppression and discrimination. I discuss why we must look to the Southeastern US in order to understand trans people in the US and continue to fight for trans equality. This lecture can be tailored to focus on a specific state or states in the region.

Conditionally Accepted: Coming Out in the Southeastern US

In this lecture, I discuss coming out in the Southeastern US. Using my own personal experiences, along with data from 40 interviews with Mississippi Christians from my book, Conditionally Accepted: Christians’ Perspectives on Homosexuality and Gay and Lesbian Civil Rights, I discuss how coming out helps sometimes, but can also be harmful. This talk is good for National Coming Out Day in October, or generally for thinking about the nuances of coming out.

Becoming Men: Trans Men in the Southeastern United States

In this lecture, I discuss what it means to be a trans man in the Southeastern United States. Using interviews with 51 trans men across the region, I show how the common themes that pervade trans men’s experiences in the South are complicated by other intersecting identities, such as sexuality, religion, race, class, and place. This talk explores the intersectionalities of a group of people who are often invisible, by choice or necessity, in broader culture. The talk engages with debates about trans experiences of masculinity, ‘passing,’ and discrimination within LGTBQ spaces in order to provide a comprehensive overview of trans men’s experiences in the region.

Drag Kings: Exploring the World of Drag in the Southeastern US

Drag kinging is an entertaining and exciting avenue to explore gender. In this lecture, I provide an overview of drag kinging in the Southeastern US and explore what this tells us about gender in this region of the country. Using interviews with 60 drag kings across the region, as well as autoethnographic material from my own time performing drag as Macon Love, I will take you on a journey with me through drag kinging in the South. Through a mixture of storytelling, social scientific analysis, personal experience, and voices from an often-invisible community, you are invited to enter the world of drag in the Southeastern United States.
