Out Down South Podcast
S1:E3 Kim Jackson
Georgia’s first openly LGBTQ+ State Senator

The first season of Out Down South will showcase the stories of 10 LGBTQ+ Atlantans, told in their own words.

In this episode, we hear from Kim Jackson, Georgia’s first openly LGBTQ+ state senator. She represents the Stone Mountain area in the Georgia General Assembly. Kim is also an ordained Episcopal priest; she serves as vicar of the Church of the Common Ground, which ministers to unhoused Atlantans outside Central Presbyterian Church, in the shadow of the capitol building’s gold dome. As a state senator, Kim has championed legislation that improves the lives of Georgia’s most vulnerable communities and has been outspoken against laws cruelly targeting LGBTQ+ youth.
