University of Ghana Stonewall Uprising & LGBTQ Rights Discussion

I’m trying to learn for my Political Science class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Part 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQoeLMdzhIo This is a Youtube event, so if you are not able to make the live stream, you can still access the video on your own time.

In the discussion board, write a minimum of 250-word reflection on the following prompts:

(1) What does it mean to be an ally to marginalized populations? How can YOU become a better ally?

(2) Reflect on what you learned about the Stonewall Riots. Do you believe rioting is the necessary work of liberation/social movements? Why or why not?

Research the following organizations: Part 2

• The Gay Liberation Front
• Human Rights Campaign (Links to an external site.)
• (Links to an external site.) GLAAD (Links to an external site.) (formerly Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation),
• PFLAG (Links to an external site.) (formerly Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).

Then write a response (250 words <) to the following:

1. What is one action that you think the campus can take to bring awareness to the movement and also issues facing LGBTQ+ communities?

2. What about the intersection of race? Is racial equality a visible component of the work that any of these organizations are doing? Which ones are inclusive of racial equality work and which ones are not? Why is this so?
