Atlanta Mayor Lance Bottoms appoints Malik Brown as the city's first director of LGBTQ affairs. - NBCOUT

ATLANTA, Georgia — A reshuffle in the Atlanta municipal government has given the city its first director of LGBTQ affairs, a full time advisory position to the mayor and city government at large.

“My hope is that we create institutional and equitable change for LGBTQ Atlantans,” Brown said. “One day Mayor Bottoms and I won’t be at Atlanta City Hall anymore, but our hope is that the LGBTQ-supportive infrastructure that we’ve created will still be here.” “This will include continuing lobbying to ban conversion therapy in Georgia, support for LGBTQ elders and fighting the spread of HIV,” Brown told NBC News. “When it is safe to do so, we look forward to partnering with our friends at Discover Atlanta, and other stakeholders, to bring more LGBTQ tourism and conferences to our city.”
