Looking to explore all the sights and scenes Georgia has to offer this summer? Do you want to support businesses and communities that support you? Consider spending your time and your money in the cities that offer comprehensive civil rights and nondiscrimination protections!

Georgia Equality applauds the 12 cities below that have adopted Comprehensive Civil Rights (CCR) ordinances. A comprehensive civil rights (CCR) ordinance protects individuals within the LGBTQ community and other marginalized groups from bias or discriminatory treatment in employment, housing, and public accommodations.  

City Name and Year the Ordinance was Passed:

Atlanta in 1995

Doraville in 2018

Clarkston in 2019

Chamblee in 2019

Dunwoody in 2019

Decatur in 2019

Brookhaven in 2020

East Point in 2020

Savannah in 2020

Smyrna in 2020

Statesboro in 2020

Hapeville in 2020

We are so proud of the communities that have taken a stand against discrimination, and that have passed local CCR policies. These communities have decided that all people deserve equal protection under the law, and a safe place to live and travel. When planning your travel this year, remember the businesses and communities that have made it a point to protect you. Show your support and gratitude by traveling to one of these great Georgian cities today!
