On February 19, 2016, the Georgia Senate passed HB 757, the First Amendment Defense Act, a “bill to protect religious freedoms…so as to provide that religious officials shall not be required to perform marriage ceremonies in violation of their legal right to free exercise of religion.” HB 757 would, among other things, allow religiously affiliated groups to refuse to “rent, lease, or otherwise grant permission for property to be used by another person for an event which is objectionable to such religious organization.” On March 2, 2016, activists and advocates urged Georgia Governor Deal to veto HB 757 and delivered the signatures of over 75,000 people who support the veto. HB-757 is one of over one hundred anti-equality bills introduced in twenty-nine state legislatures for consideration during the 2016 sessions. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #gay #bi #trans #lesbian #proequality #nofreedomtohate #pride #notanotherbowers #itshappeningagain #speakout #hb757 #keepgeorgiaqueer (at Richard B.
