With the lack of Economic Justice for black people and other minorities, not to mention native americans. So yes, there is a lot of work to be done. But considering where we were, in 1965, homosexuality was outlawed in every state, you didnt have any no lgbt people were represented and positively in the media anywhere. If there was a gay person in a movie, they had to be killed off or kill themselves. Considering where we were 55 years ago, where weve come today is really phenomenal. Again, i think thats because we can use the arguments and the examples, the great achievements of the africanamerican movement for civil rights, thats why so much has been done. But as it said, the price of freedom is eternal vigilence. One could also say the price of equality is eternal vigilance, too. And certainly there is yes, it is very sad that the gay youth still have to sometimes choose between their families and integrity, being true to themselves, and pay a price for it. Thank you. I think that t

When an employer filed a male employee for dating men but does not fire female employees that dates men discriminated against the man because he treats that and worse than women that want to do the same thing. That discrimination is because of sex. Because the adverse employment action is based on the male toloyees failure to conform a particular expectation about how men should behave.

Who want to do the same thing. That discrimination is because of sex. Because the adverse employment malesis based on the employee to confirm about how men should behave that men should be attracted only to women and not to men. There is no analytic difference between this kind of discrimination and forms of discrimination that have been already recognized by every court to have addressed them. For example, discrimination against men who are effeminate rather than macho. That discrimination is because of nonconformity with an expectation of how men should behave. The attempt to carve out discrimination against men for being gay, from title vii, cannot be administered with either consistency or integrity. Resort tojudges to lexical deed county where epithets to determine whether or not discrimination is based on sex or Sexual Orientation. That attempt is futile because when a man is discriminated against for being gay, he is discriminated against for not conforming to an expectation abo

You are here at the prologue of our new exhibit, rise up, stonewall movement. It was a gay bar in new york city that profound forward the modern lgbtq Rights Movement. We tell the story of how americans used the First Amendment freedoms speech, protest, religion, to advocate for change in really fight. We walk around the corner and look at some artifacts from two of the earliest lgbtq rights organizations that rose up in the 19 fifties and sixties. Gay americans lived in fear and secrecy. Gay people could be arrested for showing affection in public. Police prowled parks to arrest gay people. It was difficult to begin being gay in america. And people would talk what it was like to be a gay man or a lesbian woman. I love these social groups, rose illumines for social justice instead of just seeking toleranc
