English

nadezda [96]3 years ago

Answer:

The speech was a revolutionary act of self-acceptance because it encouraged gays and lesbians to fight for their rights. The speech was also geared at changing the normal treatment of gays in society.

Explanation:

Harvey Milk was the first gay person to be elected into a political office in California. He used his position to advocate the rights of gays and lesbians. During his 'Hope' speech at the San Francisco's Gay freedom rights day in 25th June 1978, Milk encouraged his fellow Gays and Lesbians to make the commitment to fight against all acts of discrimination against them which included the Proposition 6 which prohibited gays from teaching in any of the public schools in the state. He explained that this bill sponsored by John Briggs was going to limit the rights of gay and lesbian individuals.

The speech was revolutionary because it sought an immediate change in the political view and treatment of gay and lesbian people and it encouraged the gays to accept who they were and fight for their rights.

which phrase best describes the role of hyperbole in a written work? a. to trivialize b. to authenticate c. to exaggerate d. to
aev [14]

c. to exaggerate

Hyperbole is used to exaggerate a thought or idea. It often makes the tone humorous or overly dramatic. It's important to be careful when using hyperbole in writing because it can also make the speaker seem unreliable since a hyperbole is not a complete truth. A few examples of everyday hyperboles are: My homework is going to take forever. I'm so hungry, I could eat a cow. I'm so embarrassed, I could die.

Advantages and disadvantages of legalising baby bins
xxMikexx [17]
There are some ADVANTAGE of legalizing baby bins or baby hatches which are typically used to leave the newborn babies by their parent who do not want them for certain reasons and abandon them there.
This can save many lives of the newborns as the other way people might choose is killing the babies or abandoning them at places where no one might ever find them.
The baby left there will have a positive opportunity to flourish in the society unlike the one left at street as the hatches are monitored by law.

There can be some DISADVANTAGES as well to the scheme as it might help promote immoral behaviors in society. A key factor in stopping immoral activities is the fear of society, and baby bins remove that fear. Another risk can be of an increasing tendency of rapes where people might think its OK to give birth to children and then leave them to baby bins.
