Georgia is one of only a few states that have no civil rights law protecting people from discrimination in public spaces, in the workplace, or in housing. And because LGBTQ people aren’t protected under federal law, LGBTQ Georgians are especially vulnerable to discrimination. Enacting explicit nondiscrimination protections would make Georgia an even better place to live and raise a family—regardless of one’s faith, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or military status. Sign the pledge below to join our call for an LGBTQ-inclusive civil rights law and tell lawmakers: Peach State, We’re Late!
