Best Answer

There are no state laws in Georgia which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. However, some local laws do offer protection against employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. In Atlanta, all employees (public and private) are protected. Public employees of Clarke County, as well as those of the cities of Decatur and Pine Lake are also protected.
