We can shift the narrative about the South from a site of harm to one of home for queer and trans southerners.

Fixin' to Stay is trans led. On average, only 4 cents, of every $100 awarded by U.S. foundations goes towards trans communities and issues. (Funders for LGBTQ Issues)

Fixin' to Stay is created by a southern man of trans experience. The U.S. South has historically received a disproportionately low percentage of national philanthropic funding, often cited as less than 3%. (Grant Makers for Southern Progress)

Nearly 36% of the nation's adult LGBTQ+ population lives in the South, representing more than 5 million people. Making it so the most LGBTQ+ people who live in the US live in the Southeast. (LGBTMap.org)

Fixin' to Stay while set against the backdrop of escalating anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and systemic violence, challenges the reductive narratives often imposed on the South—revealing a region not solely defined by harmful legislation, but by love, deep care, and an enduring intersectional LGBTQ community.
