Unlike most states, Georgia does not have comprehensive antidiscrimination laws, and attempts to enact them have historically been met with a great deal of resistance. We believe that our beloved Macon-Bibb County is a unified community, bound by the love of each other. The level of diversity in our multifaceted community is something we hold dear. Take a public stand with us as we demonstrate our desire to see our shared values more accurately represented in our local and state laws.
