Dallas Voice :: Sweet homo Alabama

Dallas Voice :: Sweet homo Alabama: "In tiny Monroeville, Ala. (pop. 6800), Sandy Smith, executive director of the town’s Chamber of Commerce, wears a Truman Capote T-shirt. She stands proudly in a section of the town’s museum dedicated to the gay author who spent his early childhood there.

It is not an image that easily fits the stereotype of small-town Alabama. But there isn’t a lot in the state that does."
