Cimarron Alliance Foundation 
Type Educational Charity Founded 1995 Location 729 NW 17th St, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73103 Area served Oklahoma Method Popular Education Motto For a Fair and Just Oklahoma Website cimarronalliance.org The Cimarron Alliance Foundation is a 501(c)(3) educational organization dedicated to advocacy for Oklahoma’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered citizens. Its mission is “to support educational efforts that increase personal self-esteem, promote public enlightenment and advance equality for LGBT Oklahomans".[1]
In September 2002, the group won a lawsuit against Oklahoma City after the city took down banners advocating gay and lesbian rights. Judge Robin J. Cauthron ruled that the city ordinance in question, which prohibited advocacy messages, violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments.[2]
In 2007, they organized the state's first "all-inclusive" anti-bullying conference.[3]
