Our History

In 1994, two years after Colorado voters approved Amendment 2—legalizing discrimination against gay, lesbian, and bisexual people—Tim Gill established the Gill Foundation with the goal of securing equal opportunity for every American, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Tim Gill's Story

Over the past 30 years, the LGBTQ community has made great strides—from securing nationwide marriage equality, to advancing nondiscrimination protections, to restricting the harmful practice of "conversion therapy." But we still work toward the day when every American is equal under the law, no matter who they are or whom they love.
