    This site talks of the progression of a fight that lasted almost a century. The struggle for women's rights had its phases, encouragements and lead activists. In a few sections, the suffragists, the influence voting rights being granted to African American men had. and the arrival of the 19th Amendment.

    This is part of "Child Psychology, A Contemporary Viewpoint" which discusses gender-role standards and stereotypes, gender differences in development, biological factors in gender differences, the influence of the family on gender typing, and extrafamilial influences on gender roles.

    This website is covering child psychology and children's development related to gender. This page discusses gender roles, stereotypes, and differences. Also mentioned briefly is that there is no evidence of differed gender roles if boys and girls raised by gays and lesbians. Other influences on gender roles, including television and school is discussed. Also mentioned is the fact that most people, especially children are actually to various degrees both masculine and feminine, not completely one or the other.

  • This was long before anyone had heard of a “Gay Pride March.” Back then, it took a new sense of audacity and courage to take that giant step into the streets of Midtown Manhattan. One by one, we encouraged people to join the assembly. Finally, we began to move up Sixth Avenue. I stayed at the head of the march the entire way, and at one point, I climbed onto the base of a light pole and looked back. I was astonished; we stretched out as far as I could see, thousands of us. There were no floats, no music, no boys in briefs. The cops turned their backs on us to convey their disdain, but the masses of people kept carrying signs and banners, chanting and waving to surprised onlookers.

    This article from The Village Voice recounts the very first Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day Parade (where the image we are discussing this week was taken) and provides interesting information about the way that homosexuals/lesbians were viewed at that time.

    This article gives some insight into the first gay pride march. This is a first-person account. This article showed optimism regarding equal rights for gays and lesbians.

    Many times we forget that many of the causes we are so familiar with today at one time were in their starting phase. This first hand account of one of the first Gay Pride marches through Midtown and illustrates the pride and courage of those who where at that march in 1970. This is the march where the photo of Donna Gottschalk was taken and this article gives a first hand account of that day.

    This a first hand account of the very first Gay Pride March on JUne 28, 1970 in NYC. It captures the emotion of the day and the times. The author speaks of the evolution in the Gay RIghts movement from the silent, conformist protests that preceded Stonewall to the the more radical, self expressive movement.

    This is a first-person account, written by Fred Sargeant, about the memory of the Christopher Street Liberation Day in 1970. The conception of the march, the sharing of the plan and recruitment, the rules and guidelines of appearance, behavior, and props for the event, and the expectations and execution of the plan to be noticed and heard as a community are shared in this article.

    This site explains many components of the Stonewall Riots. I kept reading that this event occurred the year before, and was a huge motivation for, the Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day. It quotes a part chanted by the girls apart of the riots, speaks on how sexuality and its changes and expansions led to the formation of a subculture, and the beginning of gay rights and activism.

  • What is the specific sin of the Revolution? It is not just the sin of pride and sensuality. Rather it is the sin of elevating pride and sensuality to supreme values according to which life must be organized.

    Unfortunately there are still those who believe others do not have a right to personal freedom and rights. Those who think anyone opposed to the norm are sinners. The first target of this site is the picture from the Christopher Street Gay Pride march in 1970. This site reaffirms the continued need for people to fight for their freedom and equal rights and the understanding of others.

    This site focuses on the first gay parade in 1970 in New York City. A group called the Gay Liberation Front created flyers for this historic event. This special day was called Liberation Day. The flyer's logo was an illustration of intertwined male on male and female on female symbols. The planning of this event took place shortly after the Stonewall Riots. The riots that took place at the Stonewall Inn in 1969 caused a split between gay activists. Some supported the violence and others were against the radical protests.

    This site talks about a riot that took place in 1969 in New York City. Police raided the Stonewall Inn, which was a popular gay bar located in Greenwich Village section of New York. The streets erupted into violent protests that lasted about six days. The Stonewall Riots, as the incident became known, marked a major turning point in the modern Gay Rights movement. It was also sparked the first Gay Pride parade which took place a year later.

    This site shows a really cool timeline from 1969 until 2010 of Gay Pride celebrations that have taken place in San Francisco. For instance, the information on the timeline consists of the temperature of the event, the amount of people that showed up, who was the mayor at the time and a picture of the flyer.

    For over forty years gay pride parades have become tradition in several cities worldwide. They have evolved from radical protests to politicians and entertainers being a part of the event. Participants were very wary of the reaction they would get from non gays. Fear was an issue because back in the 70's It was not accepted to express that you were gay. The parade turned out to be a huge success therefore giving courage to supporters and participants to make this event tradition.

    This site shows photos of gay men holding up banners just like the banner that Donna Gottschalk held. Their banner read "Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day." This was the first of many more celebrations to come. Its 2013 about to be 2014 and the parade is still rocking. I work in a predominately gay area and every year I witness people coming from the annual parade. Now I wonder if these new participants know their history.

  • The idea for a gay community march started in 1970 with the Christopher Street Gay Liberation March. The event originated outside of the Stonewall Inn, at 53 Christopher Street, the morning of June 28, 1970, and continued up Fifth Avenue to end in Central Park. The march started with only a few hundred people at Stonewall and ended with several thousand by the time it concluded in Central Park. The marches formed to bring gay and lesbian individuals together and show they were a sizable minority population, something that mainstream society did not believe. The purpose of the march was to build a safe community for homosexuals

    This article revolves all around the iconic photo of Donna Gottschalk at the Christopher Street Ga Liberation March in 1970. It chronicles the events leading up to the creation of the march and the evolution of rights for the LGBT community as well as the 40th anniversary in 2009.

    This site gives the history of the 1970 Christopher Street march where the famous photograph of Donna Gottschalk was taken. A need for safety, both physical and political was needed for the City's homosexual community and they came together to march for their rights. From this start in 1970 many advances in Gay Pride and Gay Rights became possible.

  • It was only a few decades ago — a very short time in historical terms — that the situation of gay men and lesbians was radically different from what it is today. At the end of the 1960s, homosexual sex was illegal in every state but Illinois. Not one law — federal, state, or local — protected gay men or women from being fired or denied housing. There were no openly gay politicians. No television show had any identifiably gay characters. When Hollywood made a film with a major homosexual character, the character was either killed or killed himself. There were no openly gay policemen, public school teachers, doctors, or lawyers. And no political party had a gay caucus.

    In less than a lifetime, the GLBT cause has made many advancements. This site provides a great insight into how much has changed since those first few marches in 1970. The site also include several other photographs from the marches in Manhattan and in other cities in America.

    This is a great site that breifly sums up the Women's Right Movement from 1848 to 1920, although women fought for many years after. It describes the events that took place at the convention in Seneca Falls, NY where activists gathered to discuss many reforms. It was at this convention that Elizabeth Cady Stanton drafted the treatise that called for women's right to vote and insisted that women be granted "immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States."

    This site takes a look into women who attended college during the late 1800s and early 1900s. These women were determined to get an education. In 1870, only .7% of students were women. By 1920, it was still only 7.6%. It wasn't until the Women's Movement that woman made a significant appearance in colleges. I thought this site gave a good background to the presence of women in college before and leading up to the Women's Movement, which helps understand the impact the movement had.

    A New Woman is defined as a woman who worked, thus had more economic independence, making her less reliant on her husband or father. Their jobs were generally low paying, and the settings were usually in factories or department stores. They fought to change the idea of male dominance. One woman discussed is Colleen Moore, one of the first flappers, or a woman who wore short skirts, bobbed hair, listened to jazz, and showed disdain for conventional dress and behavior. An interesting fact about this site is that it comes from Prof. Lavender's course in women's studies program through the College of Staten Island/CUNY.

    During the Woman's Movement, their were several famous feminists. This site pulls together a list of famous feminists and gives a little background information on who they were. Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to graduate medical school at the top of her class and open her own clinic since others wouldn't hire her. Amelia Jenks Bloomer was a writer and editor for the first newspaper solely produced by woman, The Lily. Other feminists like Ruth Ginsburg and Emily Murphy, took to the courts to fight for equality for women. All these woman played an important role in achieving the equality and freedom woman have today.

    This site is a collection of interview transcripts taken by Kelly Anderson of women describing their experiences during the Women's Movement. One woman by the name of Dolores Alexander describes how her father felt there was no need to educate her and refused to pay for her schooling while he paid for her brother's college in full. His reasoning was that she was a woman and was only going to have kids and had no need for an education. Another woman by the name of Virginia Apuzzo describes growing up as a lesbian in a world that held no tolerance for people like her. I think these transcripts give us a first hand look at what it was like to be in their shoes.
