In the years since, legal victories for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents of Georgia have been few and far between, while historic firsts have taken place more frequently outside of the Atlanta metropolitan area. In 2000, the Atlanta Gay Center was closed due to lack of funding. In 2005, Wesley Chenault opened an exhibit titled "The Unspoken Past: Atlanta Lesbian and Gay History, 1940–1970". In 2010, a couple made state headlines for being the first gay couple allowed to dance at a Bleckley County High School prom. In 2000, Karla Drenner became the first openly gay member of the Georgia House of Representatives; in 2011, already-elected House member Rashad Taylor came out, becoming the first-openly-gay-male member of the Georgia House of Representatives. In 2001, Cathy Woolard was elected the first openly gay City Council President of Atlanta. In 2010, Simone Bell became the first openly lesbian African American woman to be elected to the Georgia General Assembly. The 2004 passage of a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage hindered the recognition of same-sex relationships by the state government. In 2005, the General Assembly passed a law which legalized the ability of counties to establish domestic partnership benefits for gay and lesbian county workers. The City of Atlanta achieved a victory in 1997 when the Georgia Supreme Court, in "City of Atlanta v. Morgan" ruled domestic partnership registration by the City to be legal, but it took until 1999, when the Georgia Supreme Court ruled against Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine for blocking the city's provision of domestic partnership benefits to city workers for the provisions to commence. In 2003, Fulton County became the first county to pass domestic partnership registration for county residents and municipal employees in same-sex relationships. On December 6, 2007, the city-county government of Athens, Georgia legalized health benefits for unmarried domestic partners.
