Following its initial selection by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) to host the preliminary volleyball competition, Cobb County came under scrutiny when its commissioners favored a resolution condemning "gay lifestyles." In response, local leaders and allies organized against the resolution and the decision to host the games in the county. Groups like the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force made stickers like these saying "The World is Watching: Olympics Out of Cobb County."
