Gay billboards in GA

After causing quite a stir in Atlanta, and despite being rejected by ClearChannel-owned Lamar Outdoor Advertising, the Georgia Equality Gay Billboard Campaign is moving out into the state:

Chuck Bowen, Georgia Equality executive director, will officially announce the addition of nearly three dozen additional billboards during the gay political group’s “Evening for Equality” benefit on Aug. 27.

“We’ll be placing a total of 34 ads on billboards throughout the state beginning Oct. 1,” Bowen said. “And this time we’ll be using real, live gay Georgians in the ads.”
