The effects of LGBT movement groups on the legalization of human rights in American government policies

    This paper seeks to examine the progress made by the LGBT community in securing legal recognition of its members' human rights in the United States of America. The analysis was based on the suppositions that government policies have severely curtailed the legal rights of the LGBT community and that LGBT movement organisations have been successful in securing those rights for the community. This study will be carried out using qualitative research, and the data collected will be thematically examined.
