A touchstone for many many gay lives.

When I first came out and moved to Atlanta in late 1996, just after the Olympics. Outright was a safe place, a place of comfort and welcome for a young gay man. It was a place, where if you needed a book on self-acceptance, self-help, spirituality, sexuality, a porn mag, videos, gifts, etc you could find it. The last time I was in Atlanta, in 2008, I stopped in for a tea(chai) and was amazed and moved that the place remained after all these years. It was, is and will always remain a touch stone for my life. Atlanta is a city which seems to embrace a constant change, embracing trends which some places don't. But despite the ever changing face and pace of Atlanta, Outright remains a place where gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendereds, Queer, questioning, our families and friends feel welcome.
