At the bottom is a photo of Larry and Jeff at a group dinner smiling together. The quote reads, 

"It's with a heavy heart that I share the passing of Larry Pellegrini. For the past several years, Larry has worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center as a legislative advisor, though Larry's work at the capitol and advocacy within the LGBTQ+ community goes back decades.

My earliest memories of Larry come from his time as a member of Queer Nation and the work they did to fight employment discrimination by Cracker Barrel. Larry’s leadership contributed to national attention to these discriminatory practices and helped to organize multiple demonstrations against the restaurant chain.

One of my favorite memories of Larry was on Peachtree Street outside of the offices of the health department. While several of us blocked traffic in protest of inhumane HIV policies, Larry stood guard negotiating with police for our safety as we were dragged off to jail.

Larry was the first political director hired by Georgia Equality in 1997. 

In that role, he helped to mentor me and as we organized a multi-year campaign that led to increasing state funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program.

Larry was there as a trusted advisor and friend when I first came to Georgia Equality in 2008– introducing me to legislators and helping to secure funding for our voter engagement work during a critical election year.

Trusted advisor. Mentor. Friend. That's how so many of us will remember Larry: with fondness and appreciation.

Rest in power, dear friend.”A black graphic with two photos of Larry. At the top is a young Larry wearing shorts and an American flag t-shirt, while holding a sign that reads, "QUEER NATION ATLANTA." At the bottom is a more recent photo of Larry at a rally for gay marriage, holding a sign that reads, "Georgia families can't wait for marriage."

ACTION ALERT: Today, Georgia Equality joined partners in demanding the release of Pauline Binam. Pauline is a 36-year-old Black migrant, survivor of domestic violence, and single mother who has lived in the U.S. for over 34 years. She’s been detained at Stewart Detention Center for nearly 6 months.
Graphic with the headline, “FREE PAULINE BINAM.” Beneath it, the text reads, “Her body was violated. Now she faces deportation.” A smiling portrait of Pauline Binam appears on the left, wearing a pink top. At the bottom, a white banner says “PAULINE’S STORY” with an arrow pointing to the right, suggesting a link or next slide. The background is black with dark purple abstract shapes. Along the bottom are the logos of the UndocuBlack Network, Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI), Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project (BLMP), and Black Detained Lives Matter (BDLM).Who is Pauline? Pauline came to the US from Cameroon at the age of 2 with her family. In October of 2017, Pauline was detained by ICE at Irwin County Detention Center. While detained, her body was violated by a gynecologist contracted by ICE who removed part of Pauline's fallopian tube without her consent.#FreePauline

Soon after her experience in Irwin County, she met her abuser, enduring years of physical and emotional violence. Pauline is currently in ICE custody at Stewart Detention Center, where she has been held since December 2025. We demand her immediate release.

We are demanding that the Atlanta ICE Field Office and Stewart Detention Center act now to #FreePauline! We demand that she be reunited with her daughter and receive support for the trauma she has endured.

BREAKING: This morning, the US Supreme Court issued a joint ruling on the cases of Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. BPJ. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court decided to allow state-level bans on transgender athletic participation to stand. Read our statement in response: bit.ly/4oSaEJ6
Plain text graphic with a crumpled paper background. At the top is Georgia Equality's transgender pride logo. Beneath is the headline in bold text, "Supreme Court Upholds State Bans on Trans Youth Participating in Sports."

Body text reads, "ATLANTA, GA (June 30, 2026) – This morning, the US Supreme Court issued a joint ruling on the cases of Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. BPJ, which question whether categorically excluding all transgender girls and women from participating on girls’ and women’s teams violates the Equal Protection Clause or Title IX. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court decided to allow state-level bans on transgender athletic participation to stand.

“The Supreme Court’s decision is disappointing, and it is hurtful to transgender young people and their families– especially in states like Georgia where our existing bans have been given clearance to stand. Allowing states to pass blanket bans that exclude transgender students from every sport, at every age, and at every level of competition does not advance fairness,” said Jeff Graham, Executive Director of Georgia Equality.Graphic with the headline “TRANS YOUTH BELONG” in blue, navy, and pink lettering. On the left is a statement from Georgia Equality Executive Director Jeff Graham which reads:

“We reject many of the majority’s arguments and claims, and maintain that the equality of transgender women and girls takes nothing away from, even in fact promotes, the equality of all women and girls. But the Court did not grant what we know the politicians driving this issue wanted from the start– a broad decision restricting the freedom of all transgender people in our schools, workplaces, and communities.

...in a coordinated effort to exclude transgender people from public life and undermine civil rights laws more broadly, politicians across the country began passing blanket bans on the participation of transgender women and girls. Such blanket bans do not consider the nuance of age, sport, or development– only serving to single out one group of kids, while not doing anything to address fairness.”

 On the right is a photo of the Georgia State Capitol with a protest sign reading, “TRANS KIDS, HANG IN THERE! I swear we won’t give up until we’ve built a world you’ll flourish in,” displayed over a transgender pride flag. The Georgia Equality logo appears at the bottom left.Plain text graphic with a crumpled paper background. At the top is Georgia Equality's transgender pride logo. Text reads, "“Here in Georgia, we know firsthand that bans on the rights of transgender girls to participate in sports with their peers have led to witch hunts targeting all children. Across the country, such bans have subjected women and girls to harassment, questions about their physical appearance, invasions of their privacy, and burdensome sex testing requirements. These efforts to police our children have negative consequences for all families and make our schools less safe for all students.

While today’s loss is painful, we will continue to fight for the ability of transgender people of all ages here in Georgia to live their lives authentically, openly, and without harassment.”

–Jeff Graham, Executive Director

Today we honor Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, news of emancipation came to Galveston TX, bringing freedom to some of the last enslaved Black Americans. With Juneteenth being in Pride Month, we also recognize intersections of oppression– how white supremacy has compounded impact on Black LGBTQ folks.
