Welcome to Swerve South! Join your host Jaime Harker for a discussion with special guest Samantha Allen, award winning journalist and author of Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States. In this episode, Jaime and Samantha dish on their Mormon upbringing and how it impacted their journeys of self-realization within the queer community. Samantha’s path from the buttoned-up and gender rigid state of Utah, to her 2-month long road trip through the red states proves there are queer communities in the most (traditionally) unexpected places. Her work sheds light on the less often discussed “red states” regions and members of the LGBT community who calls those spaces home. A portion of the interview includes encouraging discussion about the dynamic nature of a degree in gender studies. Join us for an rousing chat about gender, the power of education, and finding hope and inclusivity in our often polarizing political environment. Check out some of Samantha Allen's exciting projects: Double W is a podcast about the WNBA hosted by Laurel Powell and Samantha Allen featuring a variety of guests who’ll talk about all aspects of women’s hoops: the play, the culture, and more.Get Lost, a newsletter by  Real Queer America and  Love & Estrogen author Samantha Allen.

''If the dominant LGBT narrative of the 20th century was a gay boy in the country buying a one-way bus ticket to the Big Apple, the untold story of the twenty-first is the queer girl in Tennessee who stays put.'' Just one of my favourite lines from Samantha Allen's fantastic travel memoir, Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States. This book, which was published in March, takes readers on an incredible journey through Red State America. Whether Samantha is in Provo, Utah, where she began her own journey as a Mormon college student, or with Jess Herbst, the first openly transgender mayor in Texas history, it feels like you are in the backseat alongside Samantha and her friend, Billy. Real Queer America gifts us with a much-needed spotlight on the extraordinary LGBT communities in states such as Utah, Texas and Indiana. Today as a happily married transgender woman, Samantha is the perfect champion and author to put these stories in the hands of allies around the world. I loved every second of this book and I was so honoured to chat with Samantha about her fantastic debut. I really hope you enjoy our episode.

"Real" America does not belong to white men in red states. Queer people do not only live their best lives in New York and San Francisco. Across the country, queer folks form tight knit communities and love their towns, in spite of the oppressive measures enacted by their state legislatures. We get real with journalist Samantha Allen and her book Real Queer America, which takes us along on a road trip to meet LGBT people from Tennessee, Utah, Georgia, Indiana, and more.
