Coalition of Rainbow Alliances
Established in 2000, CORAL is a non-profit volunteer group that facilitates networking for the Central Illinois lesbian, gay, bisexual, & transgender communities, their families, friends, & the organizations that support them.
Equality Illinois was founded in 1991 as the Illinois Federation for Human Rights to secure, protect and defend the basic civil rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and questioning transgender (LGBTQ+) Illinoisans. The founders of the Chicago-based organization were activists Arthur Johnston , Rick Garcia and the late Jon Henri Damski and Lana Hostetler, who had played key roles in the 1988 passage of Chicago's Human Rights Ordinance. The name was changed to Equality Illinois in 2000, and the organization has grown to become the state's oldest, largest, and most effective LGBTQ+ equality organization.
