Although it's in the heart of the Bible Belt, the vibrant, culturally rich city of Nashville has increasingly become known as one of the South's most progressive and gay-friendly cities. Here you'll find not only a celebrated music heritage (and plenty of museums and live-music venues to learn about this history up-close) but also hip and gay-friendly neighborhoods, bars, hotels, restaurants, and shops.
