    Kyle Gets More Press

    Decatur Metro | May 1, 2009 | 9:03 am

    This time its Southern Voice who profiles Kyle Williams’ District 2 run.

    The article focuses mainly on broader LGBT issues, but still gives a couple of specific examples of things he would attempt to implement on the local level if elected.

    “Decatur is such a blessed place because it is so progressive,” he said. “We want leaders who will push the envelope. We were one of the first cities in the state to pass a non-discrimination [including sexual orientation and gender identity] statement. It needs to be updated because the language is old and I’m talking to Jeff Graham of Georgia Equality about that.”

    If elected, Williams plans to ensure gay issues are at the forefront as well as managing the development of Decatur. He also wants to make sure those under the Gold Dome knows Decatur deserves attention for funding opportunities as well.

    …

    “Sometimes our leaders are too quiet on issues and you really want them to speak out because their district will support them.

    “Decatur can be a regional leader on LGBT issues respectively and without controversy. We’re often called the Berkley of Atlanta. I say let’s take this pony out and ride it and do some good stuff.
