Change in Progress

Abstract

This paper explores the beginnings of the movement of the Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual & Transgendered community (GLBT). By analyzing pioneers such as Henry Hey, Dr. Evelyn Hooker and Harvey Milk, and also by revisiting events such as the stonewall riots, the paper illustrates the social stigma that the GLBT community has been enduring.

Also, by exploring institutionalized discrimination, a better understanding of the adversity that some people face can be reached.
