Jon Jones hopes to be first gay black man elected to Atlanta City Council


 Jon Jones is running for the Atlanta City Council District 5 seat.

If he wins, he will be the first openly gay black man elected to the city council.

Jon said in GA Voice:
"I would send a tremendous message to have a black gay man, the first, elected to the Atlanta City Council in the city ...," 
Jon has a list of things he would like to do for the people and the city. I wish him luck and I hope he makes history.

I'm told that Atlanta and vicinity are fairly liberal places. But then there's the festering redneck rest of Georgia to deal with.

And those rednecks - anti-gay, pro-creationist loons.
