Reflection



             I really liked the museum we went to, it had such amazing art and cool stuff to look at, but what caught my eye was the gay portion of the museum. Many people don't respect others that like the same gender. For example, "Inspired by other liberation movements of the era, new groups, including the Gay Liberation Front, the Gay Activists Alliance, Radicalesbians organized to protest and exert political pressure." This shows that many people had to protest to get what they wanted.
             Also another thing i learnt was, "Gay activism has continued to evolve as LGBT New Yorkers have overcome barriers and confronted new ones. Discrimination, hate crimes, bullying, and homophobia persists." Also, "The resistance of the Ancient Order of Hibernians to allowing gay groups to march in the annual St. Patrick's Day parade." Im glad people let them do this, no one should ever be put down on who you are. In conclusion i loved going to this museum, it was a great experience.
