Georgia lawmakers are weeks away from Sine Die for the 2025 legislative session. As state officials work to get legislation across the finish line, the American Civil Liberties Union is tracking 527 proposed bills across the U.S. that they refer to as “anti-LGBTQ bills.” The ACLU claims 11 of them have been introduced in the Georgia Legislature.
On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Jeff Graham, the executive director of Georgia Equality, explained the proposed state legislation that he says targets the LGBTQ community.
Graham told show host Rose Scott that he doesn’t understand why diversity, equity and inclusion are being weaponized and discussed why he feels it’s important to protect all people from discrimination.
