Equality Kansas

The coalition seeks to ensure the dignity, safety and legal equality of all Kansans.

In August 2007, members of the coalition stood with then Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius as she signed an executive order banning discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

In March 2009, Members of the Topeka chapter were instrumental in successfully lobbying the Board of the Topeka/Shawnee Co. Library to prevent a move by local religious conservatives to restrict access and censor predominantly LGBT sexual education materials.

In 2006, the coalition formed a political action committee, Equality Kansas PAC, to work toward the election of state and local candidates for office in Kansas who support equality for LGBTQ Kansans.

The mission of the PAC is to end discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression and to ensure the dignity, safety and legal equality of all Kansans by working to elect fair minded candidates to office, regardless of party affiliation.
