Former 'SNL' star Victoria Jackson adds her rant to anti-LGBTQ sentiment in Tennessee

More than 30 years ago, Victoria Jackson performed a handstand on "Saturday Night Live" to praise the "freedom to express myself any way I like" in America.

Now, she's among the Tennessee residents speaking out against the LGBTQ community and its efforts to celebrate Pride this year.

Jackson, who was part of the "SNL" cast from 1986 to 1992, appeared at a city council meeting in Franklin, Tennessee, where the Pride festival was on the docket Tuesday. She was among the scores of residents who appeared to make the case for, or against, Pride during the meeting.
