"This session we stopped every bill targeting LGBTQ Georgians, even in spite of underhanded political manoeuvres deployed over the last few weeks. Thousands of Georgians from over 60 counties came together to successfully defeat every last one."
"Despite state leadership fixating on restricting LGBTQ+ rights as their core priority over the past years, we made it clear that scapegoating LGBTQ+ Georgians is not a winning political strategy."
"Georgians want more than culture war distractions; we deserve solutions addressing healthcare access, cost of living and more affordable housing."
Georgia Equality announced the successful defeat of nearly 15 anti-LGBTQ+ bills during the 2026 legislative session. Executive director Jeff Graham emphasized the collective effort of thousands of Georgians from over 60 counties. Key bills included attempts to ban puberty blockers and restrict trans student athletes' rights. Graham highlighted that the focus on LGBTQ+ rights as a political strategy is ineffective, stating that Georgians seek solutions to pressing issues like healthcare access and affordable housing.
