English

nadezda [96]2 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.

Select the letter of the term that identifies the appositive in the following sentence:
mezya [45]
The appositive phrase is not Maya Lin, like the comment above me stated, but it is B) Chinese-American.
An appositive phrase is usually separated from the rest of the sentence by commas, and it describes the subject, which here is Maya Lin.
