FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CITY OF TUCKER PASSES LGBTQ INCLUSIVE NONDISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE

Georgia's 15th municipality to pass such an ordinance.

Tucker, GA, (June 13, 2023) – Last night, in a 6-1 vote, the Tucker City Council passed their nondiscrimination ordinance– providing critical protections to LGBTQ folks and other marginalized groups. Tucker became Georgia's 15th municipality to offer such protections to those who live, work, and visit there.



"Thanks to the hard work of local advocates in Tucker, the passage of this ordinance ensures 38,000 more Georgians are provided the necessary protections from discrimination that we all deserve," said Jeff Graham, Georgia Equality's executive director. "All of us at Georgia Equality are proud to have been involved in this work, as we continue pushing for the passage of these protections in cities and counties across Georgia."



“On yesterday’s somber seventh anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub massacre, I can think of no better way to honor the 49 LGBTQ– mostly Latinx– lives lost than by passing meaningful legislation to protect people from discrimination based on race, national origin, sexual orientation and gender identity.”



George Wellbourn of Tucker Open Door, a local advocacy group, said, “Thanks to City Council for their work. Thanks to everyone that came out to support the ordinance. Thanks to everyone that gave their time and talents over the last four years. This affirms that Tucker is the great place we already know it to be.”



“Tonight, love won, and the most vulnerable of Tucker’s residents will enjoy peace of mind knowing that they will receive equal protections under the law,” said Robin Biro, Tucker resident and civic leader.



Atlanta was Georgia's first city to pass a nondiscrimination ordinance over 20 years ago, and the second did not come until Doraville in 2018. After Doraville, Decatur, Clarkston, Chamblee, and Dunwoody passed ordinances in 2019; Brookhaven, East Point, Savannah, Smyrna, Statesboro, and Hapeville passed them in 2020, and most recently, Athens-Clarke and Augusta-Richmond counties passed their ordinances in 2021.

"Outsports has learned that only about 1,200 paid registrants — as of last week 780 in Guadalajara and 433 in Hong Kong — have so far signed up to participate in the two cities’ Gay Games this November.

Comparatively, the Gay Games in Paris had 4,000 registrants 10 months ahead of those Games in 2018. Since 1984, every Gay Games has claimed to include at least 8,000 participants."

The Gay Games face an uphill battle for their events in Hong Kong and Guadalajara in six months.
