In Georgia, the Athens-Clarke County Commission has agreed to pay $25,000 in settlement of a lawsuit brought by an anti-LGBT street preacher who was escorted out of the 2019 Athens Pride Festival by police officers.
City Dope reported yesterday on the settlement. Preacher Adam Bishop was evicted from the festival when he shouted anti-gay rhetoric through a megaphone. The settlement of Bishop's free exercise and free speech claims also includes a commitment to train police officers on how to treat expressive activity.
