Gay Rights A battle is being fought and it’s a battle for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights. Currently the LGBT communities and its supporters have overcome mountains to get where they are today, but where they are today isn’t much better than where they were when this battle started. There currently are no federal laws protecting the LGBT community from discrimination in the work place, or society in general. There is still a lot of hostility towards the LGBT community in the military, and in just about all 50 states it is illegal for same sex partners to get married. Throughout the country there are many groups such as the ACLU and the HRC (human rights campaign) who are out there fighting the good fight to help the LGBT community to get laws into the books that will condemn hate crimes and discrimination against people of different sexual orientation that the majority of the population. There are also social conservatives who are fighting with organization like the HRC to stop these laws, and are even trying to create ordinances to prevent sexual orientation from being included in any anti-discrimination laws.
