Nashville's fierce drag culture

from This Is Nashville · host WPLN News - Nashville Public Radio

Nashville’s drag scene is thriving and as active as it’s ever been, from club shows, to brunches, to transportainment. It's also a scene with a history that stretches back decades, with origins in Printer's Alley and some of the city's earliest LGBTQ clubs. A proposed state law would criminalize engaging in “an adult cabaret performance on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.” We check in on Nashville’s drag culture and explore its deep history in the city. But first, we respond to your feedback in this week's @Us. Guests: Veronika Electronika, drag performer Mac Huffington, president of Nashville Pride Philip Staffelli-Suel, adjunct professor in history and Ph.D student in public history at Middle Tennessee State University Vanessa Lee, drag performer
