The New Millenium

Goals:

  1. To discuss LGBT rights in the "modern era" or Miller's "gay movement" ('93 - now)
  2. What does liberation look like?
Significant LGBT events of The Gay Movement:
  • 12.31.1993: Brandon Teena found murdered
    • Transgender hate crime fictionalized/depicted in "Boys Don't Cry"
  • 11.5.2008: Prop 8 passes on Election Day (eliminating gay marriage in CA)
  • 10.18.1998: Matthew Shepard dies due to a violent hate crime in WY
  • 2.1.2008: Oregon comprehensive Domestic partnership goes into effect
