A new gay men’s campground-Sugar Creek-soft opened last summer in middle Tennessee and then there’s Nashville. What queer person doesn’t dream of a weekend at gay-friendly Dollywood in Pigeon Forge? Then there’s IDA, a community retreat where queer, trans and gender non-conforming people can create art and learn rural living skills. We hate that the Volunteer State lags behind when it comes to LGBT rights and protections, but there are still many reasons to pay it a visit.
