It’s become a symbol of LGBT+ rights. Before stonewall people who were part of the LGBT+ community could be arrested just for being who they were despite being LGBT+ not technically being illegal. Many LGBT+ people were on the receiving end of horrific and unjust police brutality, and often they would create secret clubs that were often disguised as other things, most popularly, “coffee houses”. A lot of the time, these LGBT+ clubs where people could be themselves safely, would be discovered and raided by the police and shut down. This harsh treat of the LGBT+ led to what we know as the stonewall riot where LGBT+ people gathered to protest these injustices and put an end to them and to get rights that would protect future generations of lgbt+ people from such cruelty. The riot which started peacefully and ended violently, was able to successfully gather enough support for LGBT+ rights to be implored and even though it still was not socially acceptable to be LGBT+, they at least weren’t getting arrested and beaten by the police and raided for who they were. Today the anniversary of the stonewall riot is celebrated as a symbol of how the LGBT+ community began to have rights and began to have their love and who they were recognized

<u>Similarities:</u>
- The speech these groups used aimed to find common ground among the potential followers they were aiming to get.
<u>Differences:</u>
- Their strategies were not always the same. Associations that demanded workers rights would engage in violent acts in a couple of occasions. This deferred from King's Civil Rights movement that offered a Gandhi--style peaceful approach while claiming their rights.
Although the 3 groups were demanding rights, they would not necessarily share the beliefs or goals of the others. For instance, associations that fought for workers rights would not necessarily support equal rights for African Americans or Women and vice-versa.
