sues that affect LGBTQ Port-
landers of all backgrounds.
“Some of that really start-
ed with the (Urban League’s)
State of Black Oregon, Lift Ev-
ery Voice Report from 2012,”
explained Edwards. Until then,
the Urban League did not in-
clude statistics that specifically
separated out LGBTQ commu-
nity members. It was a ground-
breaking report surrounding
key issues, including housing,
employment, faith, community
acceptance, health, and life ex-
pectancy.
“We reached out to the Ur-
ban League and our partner-
ship has grown ever since,”
Edwards said. “Our policy and
advocacy work stemmed from
that.”
The chapter has pushed for
gay marriage rights in Ore-
gon and helped pass the Youth
Mental Health Protection Act,
a law that bans, for youth un-
der 18, the discredited practice
of trying to change a person’s
sexual orientation, commonly
known as conversion therapy.
Other accomplishments in-
clude the group’s work on the
Ban the Box campaign, a move-
ment to help ex felons appro-
priately re-enter the job market,
and adding all protected classes
of people, including gay people,
to bans against police profiling.
“There is a bill moving for-
ward that will improve data
equity to include sexual ori-
entation and gender identity
at public colleges and univer-

PFLAG pushed Multnomah
County to improve the data
it collects on the people and
employees it serves to insure
equitable outcomes for race,
ethnicity, sexual orientation,
and gender identity. County
employees can now self-iden-
tify by gender, sexuality, and
their race or ethnicity. One
can choose all that apply, and
offer a fuller picture of who is
being employed by the coun-
ty and what their experiences
are.
Last week, the Multnomah
County Board of Commis-
sioners declared June as of-
ficial Pride Month, affirming
its commitment to supporting
LGBTQ issues. Victory was
celebrated at the commission-
