Ending discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in Oregon
Created 15 years ago to respond to attacks on gender and sexual minorities from the Oregon Citizens Alliance, Basic Rights Oregon (BRO) is a strong voice for gay rights in the state. Raising money to defeat homophobic ballot measures and identifying new voters, BRO has been dedicated to seeing that anti-gay efforts are defeated. Moreover, BRO’s work affects the national struggle for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender liberation. Working locally, BRO provides models for other communities to emulate. To that end, BRO has repeatedly emphasized its founding values of fairness, acceptance, democracy, and justice for all.
