1994 civil rights legislation, 1994
Scope and Contents
The bulk of the collection is made up of the records of the Straight But Not Narrow Coalition including incorporation records, administrative records, marketing and outreach materials, and information about LGBT legislation at the state government level, including some relevant state-level legislation outside of Rhode Island. There are a small number of additional materials from other local and national LGBT advocacy organizations.
The collection mainly centers around two movements, the push toward the 1995 anti-discrimination civil rights bill, and the push for state-level marriage equality in the 2000s.
