LGBTQ- MARCHES AND POLITICAL MOVEMENTS

It's been 51 years since the primary brick was thrown at the Stonewall Inn — a flash some historians have deemed the start of the fashionable fight for LGBTQ rights. In the last decade alone, many of the problems like marriage equality, same-sex adoption, and also the correct for transgender people to use the remainder room of their choice have had their day in court and successfully made advancements for the rights of LGBTQ people. Legal victories similarly because the heightened visibility of LGBTQ people within the media make the 2010s a notable decade for the community. But while this has been a decade of monumental change, it's also important to notice that several of the problems the organizers at the Stonewall Inn fought against, like LGBTQ homelessness and safety from assault, remain dire with transgender women of color at a disproportionately high risk for violence and assault. What is the pre-history of LGBTQ activism? We all know that homosexuality existed in ancient Israel just because it's prohibited within the Bible, whereas it flourished between both men and girls in Ancient Greece. Substantial evidence also exists for those who lived a minimum of a part of their lives as a special gender than assigned at birth. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) groupings could even be a political ideology and social group that advocate for the full acceptance of LGBT people in society. In these movements, LGBT people and their allies have a protracted history of campaigning for what's now generally called LGBT rights, sometimes also called gay rights or gay and lesbian rights. 

Although there's not a primary or an overarching central organization that represents all LGBT people and their interests, numerous LGBT rights organizations are active worldwide. A commonly stated goal among these movements is social equality for LGBT people. LGBT movements organized today are manufactured from an oversized range of political activism and cultural activity, including lobbying, street marches, social groups, media, art, and research. Not only does the LGBT community strive for his or her rights, they celebrate similarly. In multiple cities round the US, a series of events usually over the course of 1 weekend, are administrated and known widely as Pride. Additionally to expressing LGBT rights, the annual event includes a goal to point that the community is happy with who they're, and might still bucket along in their fight for rights. Political goals include changing laws and policies so on achieve new rights, benefits, and protections from harm. 

 LGBT movements have often adopted a variety of identity politics that sees gay, bisexual and/or transgender people as a troublesome and fast class of people; a minority group or groups. Those using this approach aspire to liberal political goals of freedom and civil rights, and aim to affix the political mainstream on the identical level as other groups in society. In arguing that sexual orientation and personal identity are innate and can't be consciously changed, attempts to alter gay, lesbian and bisexual people into heterosexuals ("conversion therapy") are generally opposed by the LGBT community. Such attempts are often based in religious beliefs that perceive gay, lesbian and bisexual activity as immoral. However, others within LGBT movements have criticized identity politics as limited and flawed, elements of the queer movement have argued that the categories of gay and lesbian are restrictive, and attempted to deconstruct those categories, which are seen to "reinforce instead of challenge a cultural system which may always mark the non-heterosexual as inferior.
