Voices of Georgia

Discrimination is wrong—period. That’s why across the state, Georgians are speaking out for comprehensive civil rights legislation that would protect LGBT people from discrimination. Business leaders, people of faith are joining with gay and transgender people and their families in agreeing that no one should be discriminated against simply because of who they are.
