Summary
This is a quick summary on basically the Gay Rights Movement since the late 1600s. Many events have occured since then, both bad and good, that have effected the outcome of how things are today. The Stonewall Riots of 1969 was the initial kick that the movement needed, and everything after that has only gone uphill. Marriages and Civil Unions have become legalized in some states, Don't Ask Don't Tell (military policy) has been lifted, and society as a whole has become much more accepting of the LGBT community.
Analysis
This video shows that even since the late 1600s, there has been discrimination and unequality, but with time, things have gotten much better. Many things have become legalized for the LGBT community, giving them equal rights they should have had to begin with. Things really got kicked off in the late 1960s, and have only gotten better since then. People are becoming more accepting, and society is starting to notice that gay people really don't have fair treatment.
Questions
What states currently allow Gay Marriages and Civil Unions?
When was the first Gay Rights march or parade?
