History accounts can deepen your love for your city, and @nashvillequeerhistory is a clear winner this year. Launched in 2021 by Sarah Calise, Nashville Queer History is a community project dedicated to archiving and elevating Southern queer history, and NQH’s Instagram account is actively making our city better by promoting historically focused events and sharing photographs and stories of queer folks in our history. And this goodwill is tangible: Thanks to NQH’s fundraising efforts, late Black trans soul singer Jackie Shane was honored with a historical marker on Jefferson Street this fall.
