The St. Louis-based Privacy Rights Education Project (PREP) formed in July 1986 as a response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Bowers V. Hardwick, in which the court upheld the Georgia sodomy law. PREP, a not-for-profit organization, was founded with the goal of furthering the cause of privacy rights in general, and gay and lesbian rights in particular. With more than 200 members, the organization lobbies for sexual orientation equality. The organization's legislative accomplishments include the 1992 AIDS bill, blocking passage of bills that prohibit sexual minorities from adopting children, blocking passage of mandatory HIV testing, blocking same-sex marriage legislation, and authoring legislation regarding shared living. In order to achieve its goals, PREP partners with other organizations including the Missouri Progressive Vote Coalition; Older Women's League (OWL); various pro-choice groups; and other gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender organizations.
