FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE — Well over 100 Tennessee residents flooded the city of Franklin late Tuesday afternoon ahead of a city board meeting over approval of a gay Pride festival.
In a vote of 5-4, the Franklin city board voted to allow a Pride festival to proceed after a marathon board meeting that lasted nearly five hours. The board was split with a vote of 4-4, but Franklin Mayor Ken Moore cast the deciding vote even after acknowledging that the event last year was not family-friendly. His decision was met with cheers from outside the board room.
For the past two years, Franklin, a city just south of Nashville, has hosted a Pride festival, which residents and city board members say has exposed children to inappropriate drag performances and other indecencies. One drag queen present at the 2022 festival went by the name “Blair Bitch.”
