From Silence to Solidarity
The Fight for LGBTQ+ Rights
From the Series Spotlight on Social Justice
The modern LGBTQ+ community has made significant progress in gaining legal rights and social acceptance compared to decades and centuries ago. However, even as progress has been made, many members of this community have and still face legal, social, and cultural challenges because of their identities.
From living in the shadows to legislative triumphs such as the legalization of marriage equality, From Silence to Solidarity explores the history of the LGBTQ+ community and their fight for rights in North America. More North Americans are openly identifying as LGBTQ+ than ever before, and as their visibility increases, so too does progress and backlash alike. Navigate the complexities of the ongoing debate and the work toward LGBTQ+ rights.
