Gay Civil Rights

1950s -1980s America is a time when Gay Civil Right groups began to protest and strive to have their sexuality accepted. This sparked protests, caused violence and political tension throughout America. Many organisations were formed to be the voice of these people.
Founded in 1980, Human Rights Campaign advocates on behalf of LGBT Americans, mobilizes grassroots actions in diverse communities, invests strategically to elect fair-minded individuals to office and educates the public about LGBT issues.
As the largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans, the Human Rights Campaign represents a force of more than 1.5 million members and supporters nationwide — all committed to making HRC's vision a reality.
The company keeps up to date information on the equality movement in America, dealing with issues at hand on a state to states level, and is one of the main organisations that pushing the right for ‘Same Sex Marriage’ in America. With their blogs all the members from across the country are able to communicate, helping support their cause.
Furthermore the website, doesn't just look at Gay Civil Rights in USA, it does also have international section, where members from all over the world can communicate – enabling their cause to have a united front.
The organisation main plan to have Gay Civil Rights accepted all over America, and have them seem as equal by having equal rights. It would seem there plan is working as more and more states are passing rights to now allow same sex marriage. Eventually they will move more and focus on their international objectives.
