LGBTQ HIStory
In the early June 28, 1969 a group of gay customers at a gay bar in Greenwich Village called the Stonewall Inn. They got angry at the harassment by the police. As word spread throughout the city, the customers of the Stonewall inn were soon joined by other gay men and women who started throwing objects at the policemen, shouting "gay power." At the time there were not many places where people could be openly gay. The police arrived and beat the crowd away, but the next night the crowd returned in a bigger crowd. Over 1000 people. The 1st anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the first gay pride parades in U.S history took place in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and near the Stonewall Inn in New York. The Stonewall riots inspired LGBT people throughout the country to organize support of gay rights and within two years after the riots, gay rights groups had been started in nearly every major city in the US.

Integrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Content Into Undergraduate Medical School Curricula: A Qualitative Study
Gina M. Sequeira, Chayan Chakraborti, and Brandy A. Panunti explain the need for medical students to have more LGBT-related health content, because all future physicians will treat LGBT patients. “A recent survey of medical school deans found that medical school curricula devote a median of 5 hours covering LGBT-related content across the 4-year curriculum.” They state the need for any LGBT member to have the same quality of healthcare as everybody else.
Some examples of education in the curriculum is making sure questions aren’t offensive or invasive to privacy, like ‘‘Are you currently or have you been sexually active with men, women, or both?’’ is an appropriate question to ask. ‘‘Do you use any protection when you have sex? What kind? Is pregnancy an issue you are concerned about?’’ is an inappropriate example of a question.
In the end, 90% of the medical students who had this integrated into their course thought it was beneficial to their work and should be in regular curriculum.

Involved, Invisible, Ignored: The Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Parents and Their Children in Our Nation's K-12 Schools
By Joseph G. Kosciw, Ph.D and Elizabeth M. Diaz
In this journal article they first talk about how LGBTQ parents feel not a part of the community, being mistreated and feeling neglected. A 9 year old girl at Tucker Elementary in Milton, Massachusetts informed her third-graders classmates that her mother is lesbian, she was verbally abused and physically threatened by them. That 9 year old girl is not alone, there is over 7 million lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. They then introduce what they are trying to achieve, which is to make America’s school safe for ALL students. Kosciw and Diaz talked about how only one study has documented from a children’s perspective about school experiences. Tasker and Golombok interviewed young adults with lesbian mothers. Over 36% of the participants had been teased by peers during their school years because of their mother’s sexual orientation and 44% had been teased during their school years about their own sexual orientation.

Heeding the Cry for Help: Addressing LGBT Bullying as a Public Health Issue Through Law and Policy
By Christina Meneses and Nicole Grimm
Meneses and Grimm first gives examples stories of students committing suicide because of severe incidents of bullying by their peers. One of the examples is Minnesota's Anoka-Hennepin school district four of the nine students who committed suicide were either gay or perceived to be gay by their peers, and all were victims of bullying. They provided the definition of “bullying”. One of the recent increase in LGBT suicide led anti-bullying activists to re-name these incidents "bullycide." Bullycide refers to a suicide made by the depression and distress that results from bullying and harassment.

By Joanna Almeida, Renee M. Johnson,Heather L. Corliss,Beth E. Molnar and Deborah Azrael
In this article they talk about how homosexuals tend to more likely exhibit symptoms of emotional distress, including depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts.

By Lillian Faderman
Dr.Carleton Simon has been a special deputy police commissioner for New York since 1920. He advocated rehabilitation of criminals. He then opened his own psychiatric clinic. Not only is he good at law he is good with medical. In 1947 he gave a lecture to the International Association of Chiefs of Police on “homosexualists and sex crimes”. Dr. Carleton Simon mentioned about born male and female homosexalists. Male homosexualists are noticed by their female characteristics (Walk, body contour, voice, mannerism etc.) Female homosexualists are eager to add their list of conquests and are jealous of the object of their lust.

By the late 1950’s in San Francisco there were a lot of undercover police. About 25% of people in the bar are undercover police. In the bars homosexual men make more sexual move after a brief conversation.

Her parents found a psychoanalyst for her in Manhattan and five days a week she was to take the train in from the suburbs in order to be cured. She was not ashamed of being homosexual. The Silver Hill staff said she should be sent to a private mental hospital the Elmcrest Psychiatric Institute in Portland, Connecticut. Duplaix was heavily medicated. In July 2012 died at the age of 76 still a lesbian.
