Equality Illinois was founded in 1991 with the goal to create a world that is healthy, just, and fully equal for all LGBTQ+ people. Throughout the last 30+ years, the organization has advanced pro-LGBTQ+ policies in Illinois, worked to get LGBTQ+ leaders in positions of influence throughout the state, and driven civic engagement among the community.
