Unit 10: Civil Rights Movement

LGBT Rights

A History of Discrimination Gay relationships were illegal in most states 1950s and 1960s - FBI kept lists of known homosexuals Some gay people were placed in mental institutions Local governments shut down gay bars

Effects After raids, thousands jailed Faced harassment and being fired

Stonewall In 1969, police raided Stonewall Inn in NYC Police brutality sparked a riot – hundreds of bystanders began to fight back

Clip Video Clip 1. People’s experiences of Stonewall 2. Short-term effects 3. Long-term effects

Michael Fader’s Account of Stonewall We all had a collective feeling like we'd had enough of this.... Everyone in the crowd felt that we were never going to go back. It was like the last straw. It was time to reclaim something that had always been taken from us.... All kinds of people, all different reasons, but mostly it was total outrage, anger, sorrow, everything combined, and everything just kind of ran its course. It was the police who were doing most of the destruction. We were really trying to get back in and break free. And we felt that we had freedom at last, or freedom to at least show that we demanded freedom. We weren't going to be walking meekly in the night and letting them shove us around—it's like standing your ground for the first time and in a really strong way, and that's what caught the police by surprise. There was something in the air, freedom a long time overdue, and we're going to fight for it.

After Stonewall The Gay Rights Movement began to organize The Gay Liberation Front (GLF) and the Gay Activists' Alliance (GAA) were formed

The Movement Organizes Goals: An end to persecution by police Equal rights in employment Making homosexual relationships legal An end to the stigma about homosexuality

Demanding Change Marches & writing 1974 - American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from the list of mental disorders

San Francisco 1977 - Harvey Milk became the first openly gay elected official (city supervisor) Less than a year later, assassinated Riots after shooter, Dan White, got only 7 years due to “temporary insanity” plea.

Setbacks During 1970s - Supreme Court upheld laws banning homosexual relationships Firings of gay teachers were also upheld

1980s The movement shifted focus in response to the AIDS crisis “Act Up” organized to address silence around this issue

Modern Gay Rights Movement Goals Protection against discrimination in employment, housing, services and immigration Adoption laws Gay marriage
