“It is historic for our city in one of our most historic locations, outside one of the most iconic lesbian-owned establishments in the country,” said Metro Nashville Council LGBTQ Caucus Chair and District 7 Councilmember Emily Benedict.
This club witnessed the early days of the AIDS crisis and decided to do something about it.
Amidst their own grief and facing hatred these gentlemen worked to save lives. Forrest Sanders brings us a history lesson that's ripple effects are still evident across Nashville.
