Atlanta LGBTQ History Project

Today marks the anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage across the United States. This historic decision affirmed that love is love and that everyone deserves the right to marry the person they love, regardless of gender. As we celebrate this significant milestone, we recognize the courage of those who fought for equality and commit to continuing the work for a more inclusive and just society. 🌈❤️ ***rhistory

🌈 Happy Pride Month, Atlanta! 🌈

We honor the rich history and vibrant community of LGBTQ individuals, especially in Atlanta and throughout the south! From the early activists who paved the way for equality to the diverse voices shaping our present. Reflecting on our resilience, courage, and love is a beautiful way to celebrate.

We hope you’ll celebrate Pride by listening to and sharing our episodes from our Out Down South Podcast, and we look forward to seeing you at community events throughout the city, like .fest next week!
