The LGBTQ Movement is a social and political movement that seeks to establish equal rights and opportunities for individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer. This movement has been instrumental in securing legal protections against discrimination, such as the legalization of same-sex marriage and the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”.
