Nashville Pride events span all month long

Pride has expanded over the years to encompass far more than a march, a parade or a festival. Pride is a season for the LGBT community that stretches way beyond the typical June dates, now celebrated from spring to fall in various cities, and it is a way of life that is gradually expanding beyond the large and mid-sized urban centers. 

Nashville Pride (June 23–24), Mid-South Pride (September 28–30), and Knoxville Pride (June 23) used to be the opportunities for LGBT citizens of Tennessee’s Grand Divisions to congregate and celebrate our diversity and strength. But recent years have seen many smaller cities make additions to this list: Cookeville (June 2), Murfreesboro (September 8), and Chattanooga (October 7) are some of the most recent and popular. 

And within Nashville, Pride has grown as well, both in terms of official Pride month events and unofficial additions to the calendar of celebrations. Below some of the major events leading up to the Festival in Nashville that will give you the chance to really get your Pride spirit amped up!

5 Things You Need to Know About Hormone Therapy From an Lgbtq+ Nurse Practitioner

by Spectrum Medical Care Center

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.
