So, I heard from someone in the somewhat recent past that Knoxville was determined to be one of the top gay-but-you-wouldn't-think-it cities in the US. I just want to hear about some of this supposed gay underground that people flock to. I know of a couple of gay bars and one gay novelty store, but that's about it. I generally perceived cute little Knoxville to be largely homophobic (Stacey Campfield proudly calls Knoxville home), except for downtown (go figure) which has some great culture. So, yep! Knoxville.
