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.
