Kane Press Release - Jeremy Kane held the latest in a series of working
lunches today speaking with LGBTQ+ Nashvillians to discuss issues that
affect the community and how to make Nashville a more inclusive home
for all. The working lunch is the latest in a series held by the
mayoral candidate to allow leaders in various communities to share
their concerns and ideas with the next mayor of Nashville.
“LGBTQ+ Nashvillians make great contributions to
Nashville but they face unique challenges,” said Kane. “As Nashville’s
next mayor, I want to hear directly from every community in Nashville
and the LGBTQ+ community is no exception. My administration will be
accessible, and the LGBTQ+ community, whether on LGBTQ+ youth
homelessness, or inequity in public services, will be given a
voice.”
Attendees included representatives from the Nashville LGBT Chamber
of Commerce, the Tennessee Equality Project, The Brooks Fund, Unite
Magazine, the Oasis Center, and the Middle Tennessee Transgender
Support Group, and Parker Camp, a former openly-gay NCAA
athlete.
Working lunches, along with the Just Jeremy town hall
series and other efforts, are one of many ways.
My Comment: I knew what LGBT was an acronym for. That is lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender. I did not know what "Q+" added to the LGBT was. That was new one. I found this definition: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and other identities.
LGBPTTQQIIAA+: any
combination of letters attempting to represent all the identities in
the queer community, this near-exhaustive one (but not exhaustive)
represents Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Pansexual, Transgender, Transsexual,
Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Intergender, Asexual, Ally - See more at:
