Answer:

LGBTQ is considered a civil rights issue because they were an oppressed group. They were a taboo subject amongst society and frowned upon, and according to the definition of what civil rights are "Civil and political rights are a class of rights that protect individuals' freedom from infringement by governments, social organizations, and private individuals. They ensure one's entitlement to participate in the civil and political life of society and the state without discrimination or repression." Confirming why they should be considered a civil rights issue because referring to this article Gay Rights by HISTORY.COM EDITORS "The gay rights movement saw some early progress In the 1960s. In 1961, Illinois became the first state to do away with its anti-sodomy laws, effectively decriminalizing homosexuality, and a local TV station in California aired the first documentary about homosexuality, called The Rejected." Further confirming why they should be considered part of the civil rights issue, the government had and should continue to be provided equal rights because they never had them to begin with.

NikAS [45]

The Europeans were interest in Africa for two main reasons, slaves and resources. They needed the west African coastline for slave trading since that's where all the slaves were taken by their captors to be sold, and they needed to go deeper into the continent to get natural resources. Central and Southern central Africa were places with things like Gold, but they also needed the subsaharan area for things like Ivory from elephants. They were also looking for things like diamonds.

The borders were created without any regards for people living there which meant that tribes would often be separated and clustered with other tribes that didn't have their cultural beliefs, or didn't even speak the same language. This caused a lot of civil wars because after the colonization, the borders remained, so different ethnic tribes would fight for power over the other tribes.
