BREAKING: HISTORY MADE!!

Tonight, Keisha Lance Bottoms became the FIRST pro-equality governor in Georgia's history, and became the first Black woman elected governor in the nation! While this is shaping up to be a historic night all around, we also want to take a moment to celebrate another win. Bentley Hudgins won their election in House District 90, making history as the first openly nonbinary transgender official elected to the State Legislature not only in Georgia, but across the deep south! “Bentley’s election is a reminder of the importance of transgender and nonbinary representation. When the state legislature already spends so much time debating policies impacting transgender and nonbinary people, having a leader with lived experience in the room to speak out is vitally important. But Bentley brings much more than just their identities to this work. As a longtime advocate and organizer, Bentley has already spent years working at the State Capitol and will be coming in as one of the most experienced freshman lawmakers in Georgia’s history,” said Jeff Graham, executive director of Georgia Equality.
