About Love Makes A Family
- Love Makes A Family was founded in 1992 and incorporated in 1993 when a racially diverse group of sexual minorities in Oregon and Southwest Washington came together to oppose anti-gay Ballot Measure Nine.
- The mission of Love Makes A Family is to work for social change: to create a supportive environment within our communities and to provide a public voice for all families, especially those subjected to social, economic and legal discrimination due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.
- Running an organization that is committed to full inclusion and empowerment of low income people can be challenging. Contributions arrive in amounts of several dollars to several thousand dollars -- and we need every one of those dollars!
