This Is Nashville

The future of Nashville Pride

Listen Later

Not long ago, everybody seemed to want to get in on Pride month festivities. Then the political winds shifted.

Companies that were proudly flying the rainbow flag decided to fold up their colors this year, or at least drop their financial support — including Vanderbilt Medical Center, Nissan, Cracker Barrel, Dollar General and Jack Daniel’s. So Nashville Pride has been scrambling to fill the gap with a symbolic deadline of Saturday 10/11, which is National Coming Out Day.
