With the Respect for Marriage Act recently passed by Congress, the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans inch closer to equality, though much still remains to be done in welcoming and protecting our queer community members. “Out Down South” is an outdoor exhibit celebrating Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ history through portraiture and oral histories told with local queer heroes’ own voices.
