4 reasons to come see us at the Out & About Nashville booth

It's time for NASHVILLE PRIDE!!!

The most wonderful, gayest day of the year. 

From the performances to the kid zone, the food vendors to the bar, the Equality Walk to the designated Lyft station, there is A LOT to do once you arrive at Public Square Park. So we've provided here four reasons why you HAVE to MAKE SURE you stop at the Out & About Nashville booth.

 

1. Enter to win tickets to see CULTURE CLUB

Boy George, Roy, Mikey, and Jon are coming to Nashville on July 26 to play at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, and we have a pair of tickets to give away. One of the biggest bands of the 1980s, Culture Club ruled the radio and MTV with songs like "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me," "Karma Chameleon," and "I'll Tumble 4 Ya." Stop at the O&AN booth to enter for your chance to win these tickets.

 

 

2. Enter to win tickets to see RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE BATTLE OF THE SEASONS TOUR

For the first time ever, the RuPaul's Drag Race Battle of the Seasons tour is coming to Nashville, and this show is coming up fast!  Marathon Music Works, this Monday, June 27. Hosted by Michelle Visage, the show will include fan favorites Jinkx Monsoon, Katya, Sharon Needles, Violet Chachki, Ginger Minj, Bendelacreme, Ivy Winters, and Manila Luzon. Enter at the O&AN booth.

 

 

3. Pick up a commemorative TENNESSEE PROUD 2016 t-shirt

You may recall from last year that our 2015 commemorative t-shirt sold out FAST, so you may want to get in on this quickly. Designed to match our special June PRIDE print issue, these lightweight v-neck tees are 100% cotton. You'll look SWEET and extra proud wandering around Public Square Park in it. We have sizes Small through XX-Large and they're $15 each. Credit and cash is good.

 

 

4. Get a rainbow marshmallow lollipop

Nashville's Bang Candy Company—located just down the street from Marathon Music Works on Clinton Street—made these special rainbow-colored handmade marshmallow lollipops exclusively for us. Pick yourself up one, and get one for a friend, too.  They're just $1 each.

 

 

And, of course, we'll have lots of copies of this month's Out & About print magazine so be sure to come say hi, okay?

Happy Pride!

 

 

 

WhistlePig + Alfa Romeo F1

SHOREHAM, VT (September 13, 2023) — WhistlePig Whiskey, the leaders in independent craft whiskey, and Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake are waving the checkered flag on a legend-worthy release that’s taking whiskey to G-Force levels. The Limited Edition PiggyBack Legends Series: Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is a high Rye Whiskey selected by the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake drivers, with barrels trialed in their wind tunnel to ensure a thrilling taste in every sip.

The third iteration in WhistlePig’s Single Barrel PiggyBack Legends Series, the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is bottled at 96.77 proof, a nod to Valtteri Bottas’ racing number, 77, and the precision of racing. Inspired by Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese F1 driver, this Rye Whiskey is finished with lychee and oolong tea. Herbal and floral notes of the oolong tea complement the herbaceous notes of WhistlePig’s signature PiggyBack 100% Rye, rounded out with a juicy tropical fruit finish and a touch of spice.

Nurse Practitioner Ari Kravitz

When I started medical transition at 20 years old, it was very difficult to get the care I needed for hormone replacement therapy because there are very few providers trained in starting hormones for trans people, even though it’s very similar to the hormones that we prescribe to women in menopause or cisgender men with low testosterone.

I hope more providers get trained in LGBTQ+ healthcare, so they can support patients along their individual gender journey, and provide the info needed to make informed decisions about their body. I’ve personally seen my trans patients find hope and experience a better quality of life through hormone replacement therapy.
