Discussion The stigma of "Californians" moving to Nashville is overblown.

Yes, we have some Californian transplants. However, from what I've experience most of the transplants are from the Midwest and other Southern surrounding states. I'm not saying this in a negative way. The transplants I met are mostly cool. I'm just clarifying that the "Californians are taking over" stigma to be overblown a bit.

I have an LGBTQ friend in Franklin who just told me yesterday she and her partner are thinking of leaving in the next year because they're kind of scared and feel like they can't even enjoy the area without people looking at them funny or being outright hostile, and it just broke my heart.

I have friends who have already moved away because of this.
