New Deep South is a series by The Front that explores the complex nature of sexual identity in the 21st century American South. In the first episode, Instababy, co-creators Rosie Haber and Lauren Cioffi follow Toni and Keeta, a queer couple in Jackson, Mississippi, as they try to start a family in a state where same-sex adoption is still illegal. So, they turn to the best resource at their disposal: Instagram.

The Front is a media startup founded and run by women—you can find more information on their website, Facebook, and Twitter.
