Does anyone in Atlanta or around Atlanta that know any gay/trans clubs that play hip hop/rnb music

Hi. My 22-year-old son came out to us recently and he would like to start HTR for trans - Male to Female. Do any of you know of a stellar doctor or clinic? I’d like someone highly-rated.

Any recs for bakeries that are black owned and professional? Looking for a birthday cake that’ll feed about 6-8 people next month. Thank you!

Hi all. I live an hour west OTP (Paulding county) and am looking for a gun range with courses that are friendly to first-timers. I don’t have any experience with guns but I’m interested in learning. I would prefer something nearby as my work schedule can be demanding. Thanks.

Accidentally uploaded critical staff notes alongside glowing marketing pitch. Watch out y’all!

ETA that in the short time since this post was made, Walden was returned for bad/aggressive behavior. Post says “what makes this especially difficult is that his shelter notes don’t paint this picture” 🙄. Screenshot in one top comments.

I'm hoping r/Atlanta can help me find a restaurant where I can dine with my neurodivergent friend in relative quiet. We tried one pizza place and one hibachi place. Both noisy and chaotic. My friend craves quiet, contemplative experiences--free of chaos, noisy kids, and too much stimuli. Where can I take them?

Go ahead and call me 'what's wrong with our nation' and all that jazz, but I'm not voting. We live in Georgia. Romney is going to win the state. Period. Even if you are going to vote for him (I wouldn't, and I doubt many here are either), he's already a shoe-in for Georgia. If the election process went by popular vote or I lived in a swing state, then yes I would be inclined to vote, but the way it's setup now and the state we live in, it's useless. Please don't say that "Georgia is a swing state" cause it's not. Neither is Tennessee, Alabama, or Mississippi. Maybe it'll change one day, but as it stands right now, I actually have better uses of my time. I'm sure this will be downvoted without any contributions as to why, but I'd be interested to hear some counter arguments.

EDIT: I'm specifically talking about the Presidential ticket and not the local campaigns. Yes, I know they are on the same ballot but I was just interested in seeing the consensus of /r/atlanta regarding the general election.

Hi! I'm Jessica and I just moved from a small town two weeks ago. I'm currently in Doraville and I've been loving it here so far. My favorite thing to treat myself to is a latte and a scone, and so I'm looking for places in Atlanta proper or around Doraville to give my business to. I'd especially love to support LGBT-owned/operated coffeeshops. Willing to go as far as Midtown and Westside, since I work over there.

Any good recommendations? Even better if they frequently have events and stuff. Thanks guys!

EDIT: Seeing a lot of awesome recs. Thank you guys so much! I'm going to start going out and trying them all starting today!

It's clear the ITP community of r/Atlanta has not spoken loud enough - yet. We demand representation - and are willing to allow taxation on certain products to improve CoA services (bc damn, do we need it!), and ensure "Atlanta" means, you know, Atlanta.

Hello! My wife and I are in a mixed race gay marriage, and I'm looking for a queer affirming church. The church I currently go to is precious and wonderful, but its membership is almost 100% white. That's not a problem in and of itself, but would like to find a church where my wife or her family wouldn't be the only POC in the pews. By queer affirming, I mean the congregants don't tell us our marriage is a sin, tell us "love the sinner, hate the sin", the sermons don't demonize gay people, etc... I'm not looking for special treatment. Thank you!!!!

Crazy shit going on everywhere. Lots of good people, cops and civilians, just trying to get along in a world where a few bad apples are fucking it up for everyone. Everyone stay safe today.

EDIT: So there are lots of folks in this thread using gimmick accounts accusing me of racism, which is sad, because I guess they have nothing better to do. Before blindly handing them an upvote, please read my responses to their comments. I hate the fact that this positive post has marred by people who hate the APD and anyone who disagrees with the bloody BLM. I stand by every single comment I've made (which is why I'm not deleting any in spite of getting downvoted to hell). If any comments were racist I'd be the first to remove them, but people believe what they want to, and if they can force your way of thinking into their "He's a racist!" narrative, they'll do it if for nothing else, karma. Peace out and like I said - everyone stay safe.

Hi I'm from the Uk and going to atlanta to visit some old friends, was looking at what clothes to bring and I have a vick jersey as even being from the uk madden 04 made it into my life . In short is it ok to wear even tho Ik what he did. Over here we have a player called greenwood who did a lot worse but charges were dropped but you'd probs get arrested for even wearing his jersey so just want to know. Thanks have a good day

Hey I'm a trans woman and I'm currently looking for a hair salon and stylist. Any recommendations would be great thank you!

Need a primary doc that isn’t going to assume my hormones are the problem whenever I have an ache or something that I need looked at.

Any part of town would be fine.
I work in town and live north OTP.

Hi! I'm transgender, but still closeted and just beginning to socially transition. I'm trying to find areas where I feel I can safely practice presenting as myself without running into someone I know. Like, nothing fancy, just a regular gal getting groceries at the Kroger or whatever. The trick for me is I live near L5P and I know a lot of people in Decatur, EAV, Midtown, pretty much all the usual places I've seen folks recommend. I don't go OTP too often and I don't know anyone there (not on purpose, just the way it worked out), so I'm hoping there are equivalents to Decatur, L5P and EAV out there. I get good vibes from downtown Marietta and Kennesaw around KSU, but I don't really know. Any leads appreciated!

How do you feel about a congestion surcharge for driving into downtown, midtown, buckhead on weekdays? Residents, of course, would be excluded. It would mainly be geared at getting some tax revenue from suburban commuters who drive into their office parks, work, and then drive right back out to the exurbs.

NYC already does it, and in London it reduced congestion by 30%. Potential downsides are disincentivizing people coming into the city to spend money, but it seems like this could be mitigated by keeping the charge low enough ($5, I propose).

An added bonus is it would probably prompt more people to park at Doraville/North Springs and ride the train into town, further reducing traffic and air pollution in dense areas.
