The goal of the movement was to force those who once opposed homosexuality, to accept it as apart of life. NOTE: LGBT stands for Lesbians, Gays,Bisexuals, and Transgenders. This lead to the creation of the ‘Gay Pride’ (orLGBT) parades that are held annually - along with the ‘Gay is Good’ marketing campaigns that helped promote the movement. But because the majority of the population conformed to generic Christian values, homosexuality was viewed negatively by many - but It was around this time that organizations emerged with the sole purpose of establishing a sense of pride among the gay community. In the 1950’s and 60’s there was a massive movement to defend homosexuals from the widespread ‘discrimination’ against individuals who did not conform to the commonly accepted sexual paradigm (men with women).
