Tennessee's LGBTQ Community Faces Threats and Legal Challenges.

TL;DR Summary
Members of the LGBTQ community in Nashville came together for a private meeting to grieve and heal amid fear and threats of violence since last week's school shooting. The location was closely guarded due to safety concerns for participants. The meeting was planned as a rally against a new state law that would criminalize some drag performances, but was postponed due to the shooting. Some advocates planned a smaller "evening of healing" for people to meet safely. The angry and violent rhetoric against the transgender and wider LGBTQ community since Monday has been deeply worrisome for organizers.
