Introduction and Video Presentation
Gay rights history is complex because religion and biological arguments have been used to justify acts of hostility and denial of rights for Americans. For example, Barbara Gittings, Frank Kameny and Dr. John Fryer (image above) protested the Psychiatric Association's classification of homosexuality a mental disorder in 1972. Prior to their work, homosexuality was viewed as a mental disorder, which meant one could discriminate against gays and argue the reason was due to their mental illness. Prior to their work, groups like Mattachine and the Daughters of Bilitis published journals to educate Americans. Their goal was to educate society and argue against the belief that homosexuals were deviant and to educate Americans struggling with their own sexual identity. The sources here provide some historical information about the struggle of homosexuals in America.

Are you Struggling with who you are?
Are you Struggling with who you are?
If you are struggling with coming out, being transgender, living closeted or anything similar to these struggles be proud of who you are and remember that you are a human being that matters. Regardless of what someone says to you, what society says about you or any law designed to deny you rights remember that you matter. Be proud of your history! Below is from a letter written by a former student.
