Hundreds of Middle Tennesseans gathered in East Nashville Saturday to paint the city’s first rainbow crosswalk as a celebration of LGBTQ pride.
The event, which was sponsored by Metro Councilman Clay Capp, drew scores of elected officials, community members and a couple of protesters.
The crosswalk intersection at 14 and Woodland Streets is in front of the Lipstick Lounge, which opened in 2003 as one of only 20 lesbian bars in the United States.
