    Description
    Television news clips pertaining to the 1993 theatrical production of Lips Together, Teeth Apart and the surrounding controversy. Following a complaint regarding homosexual subject matter in the production, Commissioner Gordon Wysong introduced an anti-gay resolution to the Cobb County Board of Commissioners. In August 1993, the Board of Commissioners passed resolutions condemning what was termed "the gay lifestyle" and eliminating all of Cobb County's public arts funding.
