Georgia Equality (previously the Georgia Equality Project) is the largest LGBT rights advocacy groups in Georgia.[1][2][3][4] Their mission is to advance Fairness, Safety and Opportunity for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Allied Communities in Georgia. Their work has included political endorsement,[2] boycotts,[4] protests,[5] advertising campaigns,[6] and lobbying.[7]

It is based in Atlanta[6] and was founded in 1995.[8] A Savannah chapter was formed in 1998, and is the only chapter outside of Atlanta. The organization is a member of the Equality Federation.[9]
