Equality Alabama

Equality Alabama (EA) is a statewide non-profit civil rights organization that advocates for the rights of LGBTQ people in Alabama.
==Background==
Equality Alabama was formed by the 2002 merger of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of Alabama and Equality Begins at Home of Central Alabama.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mission )〕 The organization began to increase its activity prior to the 2005 referendum that banned same-sex marriage in the state. Representatives for the organization have stated that the additional visibility was in reaction to increasingly anti-gay legislation being brought forth in the state government. Proposed, but thus far not enacted, state legislation has included banning the adoption of children by LGBT people and prohibiting libraries from purchasing literature that portrays homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in ''Lawrence v. Texas'' in 2003, Ken Baker of Equality Alabama told ''The New York Times'': "Some people in our organization are very concerned about a backlash. We'll deal with it if it happens."〔''New York Times'': (Sarah Kershaw, "Adversaries on Gay Rights Vow State-by-State Fight," July 6, 2003 ), accessed February 5, 2012: "Alabama is considered by gay rights activists to be one of the most resistant states to gay rights."〕
In 2014, Equality Alabama received public criticism for lacking diversity in its leadership and programs — particularly women, racial minorities, and transgender people. A former board member described a situation that arose after discussions about diversity that "turned sour." In the op-ed in ''The Birmingham News'', Michael Hansen wrote, "The conversation ended with a white man explicating that he was perfectly capable of doing the work on behalf of minorities, women and transgender people."
