Struggle & Activism against LGBT

      Freely lesbians and gay members of the US military were subjected to the US's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. On December 18, 2010, The U. S. Senate voted 65-31 in favor of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 which permitted LGBT people to serve openly in the armed forces.So, means that the arny doesn't forbid them to enter without being discriminated. 


     But, they have been discriminated in employment (such as hiring, promotion, job assignment etc..), housing (discrimination against potential or current tenants by landlords),  hate crimes (crimes motivated from feelings that began from enmity against a class).
  
   After Harvey Milk became the first openly homosexual man elected to any substantial political office in history. About thousands of amaze people wrote to him: "I thank God," wrote a 68-year-old homosexual, "I have lived long enough to see my kind emerge from the shadows and join the human race."
  
   There was a time when it was impossible for people straight or homo  to imagine a man like Harvey Milk. The irony about this is that Milk is didn't seem to care that he lived in such a time. After he defied the governing class of San Francisco in 1977 to become a member of a politcal office, many people had to adjust to the reality that he embodied, that a gay person could live an honest life and succeed.

    LGBT people are peaceful they don't use violence. Society tend to discriminate them and abuse them by hate crimes. Their are rejected by society, their economic life is not so good not so great.
