I'm a Yank but my wife and daughter went to Nashville to look at Vanderbilt University - and they loved it, both the University and Nashville. From what I've seen Nashville is beautiful. I've even thought about relocating or longer term retiring to the Nashville area but I have this little voice in my head always saying "but it's the South..." and frankly, stories like this tend to amplify that voice.

P.S. I'm really into music and Nashville's music scene is very appealing, despite the state politics. So I'm definitely conflicted.

Nashville is a really blue dot in a red state that is Tennessee. If Nashville isn't liberal enough for you, then perhaps best to stay on the coasts. I actually feel Nashville is turning into the thing and ideologies I fled (California and San Francisco) with all the people moving here from Illinois, New York, and California.
