 The second annual Athens Pride Parade marched through the streets of downtown Athens this Saturday, and it was a lot of fun. It's been a rough year for the LGBTQ community, with many states around the nation passing anti-gay and anti-trans legislation especially. It's a shameful fact that the entire state legislative delegation from Athens, with the exception of Democrat Spencer Fry, voted for SB 140, which bans gender-affirming treatment in Georgia. I'll be honest with you, I look forward to the day when people like Houston Gaines, Marcus Weidauer, Frank Ginn and Bill Kousert are voted out of office because they do not represent us here in Athens.
