## Resource

Pride Month is more than a celebration — it's a recognition of the advocacy, community, visibility, and fight for equal rights. In this special episode of the Georgia Politics Podcast, host Lyndsey Coates sits down with LGBTQ+ advocate Noel Heatherland of Georgia Equality and Jennifer Donlon of Roswell Empowered to discuss the 2026 Georgia legislative session, the defeat of 15 anti-LGBTQ bills, the growing Pride movement in North Fulton, and why local activism matters now more than ever. From fighting harmful legislation under the Gold Dome to building inclusive community spaces in Roswell, this conversation dives deep into the realities facing Georgia's LGBTQ community — and the people doing the work to create change.
