What begins as the Stonewall Riots in 1969 was the beginning of the Gay Revolution. In New York, you can hear miles away people chanting (LGBT) repeatedly to the point their voices were heard across the world.

I think the Civil Rights Movement had its ups and downs, but it all ended up good yeah I know you had the Freedom summer,Emmett Till,MLK death. But it all ended in a happy ending.I would have to say Martin Luther King is the most important because he gave everyone hope.
