50 Voices For Equality is a public education
campaign by the Basic Rights Education
Fund (BREF). BREF's mission is to
build community through education and advocacy and to end discrimination
based on sexual orientation and
gender identity in Oregon.
We know that families come in all varieties and it is our strong belief
that ALL Oregon families deserve
to have the rights, responsibilities
and protections necessary to keep
each other safe in times of crisis.
The 50 Voices For Equality campaign is
meant to demonstrate the broad cross-section
of straight Oregonians who support
relationship equality for Oregon's
committed same-sex couples and their
families. These 50 Oregonians also
believe that discrimination of any
kind is wrong and ought to be against
the law.
From the faith and business communities, to farmers and grandparents--freedom
from discrimination for gay and
lesbian Oregonians is a belief shared by
a large majority of Oregonians.
We encourage you to join hundreds of thousands of fellow Oregonians
who believe that all families--are
just that--families, who deserve
the basic right toprotect one another.
