Rainbow Serpent is proud to celebrate our co-founder Marques Redd, one of the 2025 inductees into Macon Pride’s Pioneers & Trailblazers LGBTQ+ History Exhibit. This annual showcase honors 22 iconic LGBTQ+ figures from Georgia whose artistry, activism, and courage have shaped the cultural landscape.

This year’s edition deepens its impact through a collaboration with Storytellers Macon Live and the Tubman African American Museum, featuring recorded oral histories and live storytelling performances. Marques will not only be featured in the exhibit but will also share his story during the live event—uplifting the past, illuminating the present, and inspiring the future of queer Southern legacy.
