Oregon LGBTQ Rights Pioneer Moves On

Wikimedia

Basic Rights Oregon works hard to ensure the rights of members of the LGBTQ community. 

And for nearly a decade, it has been counting gains in those rights, under the direction of Executive Director Jeana Frazzini. 

During Frazzini's tenure, LGBTQ people racked up victories in a number of policy areas, all the way up to marriage equality. 

Frazzini steps down from her role at BRO in a matter of days.  She visits with us to talk about the last several years, and what lies ahead for her.
