Building a better Illinois by advancing equal treatment and social justice through education, advocacy and protection of the rights of the LGBTQ community. Founded in 1991, Equality Illinois is the state's oldest and largest civil rights organization dedicated to advocating on behalf of LGBTQ–lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer–Illinoisans, their families, and allies. At Equality Illinois we envision a fair and unified Illinois where everyone is treated equally with dignity and respect and where all people live freely regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. We work hard to promote legislation to protect the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals; maintain the visibility of LGBTQ issues; oppose legislation which seeks to limit the civil rights of the LGBTQ community; and expand statewide grassroots support. Our agenda is broad and covers numerous areas of concern to the LGBTQ community, including employment, relationship recognition, family matters, anti-violence and hate crimes, transgender issues, and safe schools. Learn more, support our work, and act at www.EqualityIllinois.org, email us at info@eqil.org or call us at 773-477-7173.
