Georgia

Georgia is home to over 25,000 same-sex couples. In 2004, the state's voters passed an anti-relationship recognition constitutional amendment. Although a state court ruled that the amendment violated Georgia's single subject rule for ballot measures, the state Supreme Court, in July 2006, upheld the constitutional amendment. State advocacy groups continue to work to overturn such discrimination and move towards true fairness and equality for Georgia's families.
