Basic Rights Oregon is an American nonprofit LGBT rights organization based in Portland, Oregon. It is the largest advocacy, education, and political organization working in Oregon to end discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Basic Rights Oregon has a full-time staff, a contract lobbyist, and more than 10,000 contributors, and 5,000 volunteers. It is a 501(c)(4) organization that maintains a 501(c)(3) education fund, a state candidate PAC and a ballot measure PAC.〔 The organization is a member of the Equality Federation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About Us )
==Background==
Oregon Citizens Alliance (OCA), an organization that opposed gay rights, successfully backed the passage of a 1988 ballot measure revoking the ban on sexual-orientation discrimination in the state's executive branch.〔("Oregon goes Democratic!" ''Ellensburg Daily Record'', November 9, 1988 ), accessed June 2, 2012〕 In 1992, when OCA proposed a ballot measure to prohibit the "encouragement" of homosexual lifestyles in public schools,〔(Oregon Voters' Pamphlet, November 3, 1992 ), p. 93, hosted at the (Benton County Elections Division website )〕 Oregonians who supported LGBT rights raised over $2 million and were successful in defeating the measure. OCA continued to promote similar measures at the local level〔''New York Times'': (Timothy Egan, "Voters in Oregon Back Local Anti-Gay Rules," July 1, 1993 ), accessed June 2, 2012〕 and promised another statewide ballot in 1994. In response activists pressured for a stable political organization and formed Support Our Communities-PAC (SOC-PAC) in 1993. The following year, SOC-PAC successfully organized the opposition to another OCA proposal, a ballot measure to ban the recognition of homosexuals as a minority group.〔("Oregon group unveils new anti-gay initiative," ''Spokesman-Review'', May 7, 1993 ), accessed June 2, 2012〕
