Major Events Associated With Your Hashtag Movement

Major Events- List of 10 (in no particular order, to be frank I forget the exact order and didn’t use sticky notes like I usually would, so the order of events is probably off)

In the 65-year history of LGBTQ activism in the United States, the present moment stands out on the basis of gay marriage being legalized. At no other time would an observer have imagined that the LGBTQ movement was likely to succeed in such a manner that any gender can marry any other gender with the permission by the law (Stewart-winter

Student Demonstrations - The student demonstrations began due to the rise off tuition fees made by the government that soon lead to rioting and protests from the students. These demonstrations effected the Public Services greatly as the majority of Police Officers were on the streets trying to prevent the rioting from getting out of hand and too dangerous, while the Ambulance Service and Paramedics were on standby ready for any casualties if the situation escalated. The demonstrations showed both students as well as the Police in a bad perspective. A couple of ways in which the media did this was by only showing

On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court removed the ban on same-sex marriage nationwide. On July 15, 2015, Kenneth Jost published an article named “Will there be more gains after marriage ruling?” In this article, Jost discusses the viewpoints of the general public and argues that there may still be a struggle to gain full rights and respect for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. The article covers the reaction of the public on June 26, along with politicians stand-points on the subject, and the Caitlyn Jenner controversy. Jost’s main argument is that LGBT people are not being protected by the government, even though they have gained the right to marry.

continuously growing number of countries that now recognize gay marriages. America has come a long

end-of-war celebration to that of the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage. The cartoon is not so much a protest, but a commemoration of the goals achieved by the gay rights movement (that is not to say that protests are not continuing). The author most heavily expresses his idea through his craft decisions—the focal point being the author’s choice to compare the Court ruling to the ending of World War Ⅱ. The choice to use an iconic photograph that many readers will recognize helps the reader to easily understand what he is trying to say. Additionally, the comparison of the two events demonstrates to the reader how monumental the Supreme Court ruling was, since many Americans know the importance of the end of the war.

How have you learned about this social movement (news articles, social media, social commentary, conversation with others, television news)?

The documentary God Loves Uganda is about the effects American evangelicals have on Uganda, when preaching their values. These missionaries do everything in their power to eliminate sexual sin. In this documentary, there are interviews with some of Uganda’s most powerful, their enemies, local priests and bishops. All of which have strong opinions about the anti-homosexuality bill. The director, Roger Ross Williams grew up in a Christian

Despite criticism of the bill abroad, it was highly popular among a lot of Ugandans who said the country had the right to pass laws that protect its children” (Kampala). Being openly gay is perceived as foolhardy and impossible there. Many LGBTQ members have, in fact, fled their homes for fear of persecution or said to have been unjustly hurt physically, verbally, and/or mentally by their fellow men and women. This bill broadens the false criminalization of same-sex relationships and is unconstitutional because it violates Articles 23, 24, and 27 of the Ugandan Constitution, which is said to apply to all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.

Before taking this class I did not know much about countries in Africa. In this class we talked about things that I have never talked about out loud regarding issues like men who are homosexuals, some men are raised too tough so they often turn out to be abusive, should people who are disabled have sex, etc. I noticed I became more open minded about certain topics that used to make me feel uncomfortable. Some of the things we talked about reminded me a lot about Bangladesh. They do not have a voice they must do what their husband say. The purpose of my paper is to explain 1) why homophobia is an issue all over countries in Africa and how it is dealt with by the public. 2) homosexual people are terrified to come out of the closet. 3) Unsafe

According to the Democratic Republic of Congo being a LGBT person are not allowed to be married or have activities between them, but you can be LGBT if you want, In my own perspective or opinion being LGBT it is okay, the people decide the life that each one want for themselves, and I don’t know why if they are LGBT they cannot marry, I mean is like useless that law because laws are prohibiting LGBT people from marrying but I think that is wrong because if they are gay and want to continue their lives and well-being I do not see why stop them, it is your life is your problem, but in the case of the Democratic Republic of Congo people have to be treated different only because they do not think like the others, and the law don’t protect the LGBT people and they also don’t want

Uganda began to see gay rights as a problem. Yoweri Museveni, the president of Uganda, is disgusted with the outbreak of homosexuality in his country and he wants LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) extinguished.

At first I will talk about the way the government has essentially denounced all rights and equality of people who practice same-sex relations in Kenya. Then I will move to address when and how same-sex activity first began in Kenya

“We’re here, we’re queer, get over it.” In 1990, these words, shouted and displayed proudly on signs waved by the activist group, Queer Nation, were revolutionary. Never, not since the Stonewall Riots, had non-straight, non-cis people been so vocal about their existence and demanded acceptance – something that straight people take for granted on a daily basis. However, in the years since the Riots, LGBT activism has become much more mainstream, no longer whispered about behind closet doors or something to be wholly ashamed of. Gay marriage is legal in all 50 United States, something that has been fought for since the conception of the LGBT movement. In fact, gay couples are routinely being featured on popular television and other forms of media. Some might say that in 2016, the dreams of the rioters in Stonewall have been realized. Marriage rights and the spotlight on nighttime television; equality seems to truly be right on the horizon.

In modern day Africa homosexuality is illegal for gay men in 29 countries and for lesbians in 20 countries making homophobia a widespread epidemic. This legal status of homosexuals in
