In a dramatic turn of events, organizers of the 2025 Smyrna Pride festival have reversed their decision to bar the Georgia Log Cabin Republicans (GLCR) from participating as a vendor. But the reversal comes with a catch—one that many see as unconstitutional and legally dubious.

Smyrna Pride’s leadership, operating under the non-profit Smyrna is Fabulous, Inc., issued a cease and desist order to GLCR, demanding that they stop spreading what organizers call “false information,” refrain from “interfering with sponsors,” and halt any legal threats. The warning was clear: failure to comply could result in GLCR’s vendor status being revoked once again.
