The public emergence of gays and lesbians in Oak Park occurred a little over ten years ago because of the public debate surrounding the possibility of the village passing an ordinance giving benefits to the same sex partners of village employees. As early as 1989, the transformation of Oak Park into a welcoming place began when the village passed a non-discrimination ordinance that mentioned sexual preference. While the benefits ordinance eventually passed in the Village council, the process caused some people to realize the need for an organization that represented the rights and interests of gays and lesbians in Oak Park. A number of gays and lesbians who are not politically involved before became politized once they realized how much opposition there was in the village to what they considered a simple civil rights issue. The Oak Park Area Lesbian and Gay Association (OPALGA) was the result. Many of its founders, such as Mel Wilson, Nathan Linsk and Bekah Levin, are still active today.
