Face-to-Face is a monthly 45 minute live in-depth interview series conducted by well-known Nashville entertainment writer F. Daniel Kent and sponsored by OutCentral. This unique series aims to help Nashville's GLBT community reconnect with its long and storied past. We have grown in leaps and bounds over the past decade but there are still far too few in our midst who have a true sense of continuity with those who have gone before. As time goes on the gap between those who helped lay the foundation that our community builds upon today and those who are now reaping the benefits of that hard work grows ever wider. The goal of Face-to-Face is to help bridge that gap. This will be accomplished by creating a space where longtime members of our community can talk about their memories of Nashville's past, their present experiences and their hopes for the future of our shared journey as GLBT people living in and around Nashville.
