History

Historically, members of the LGBTQ community faced discrimination when it comes to employment, the military, and even housing. LGBTQ people have also struggled to attain acceptance in general society, which is why activists continue to fight tirelessly on their behalf. Many cite the Stonewall riots of 1969 and the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade of 1970 as the genesis of the modern-day LGBTQ movement. Today, activists and allies of the LGBTQ community utilize outreach, social media, rallies, and festivals to ensure that all people are treated with equal dignity.
