Gays and lbians, pecially the last 20 years, have actively sought to end what they perceive as prejudice and discrimatn agast them based on their sexual orientatn.
They have worked at all levels of society to change laws, fight job discrimatn and harassment, elimate homophobia and gay bashg (that is, vlence directed toward homosexuals), lobby for fundg to fight the AIDS vis, and te the public about homosexualy and homosexuals. Although many gays and lbians believe they have e a long way toward achievg their goals, others believe they still have much work to do before achievg te “gay liberatn. The cint prompted the formatn of numero gay rights groups and the anizatn of march, monstratns, and yearly memorative paras and activi, cludg the Gay Pri March.
Many people rrectly assume that the gay rights movement began wh the Stonewall rt, when fact more than 40 gay and lbian anizatns were already place at that time. After the Stonewall rt, gays and lbians anized to such polil groups and service agenci as Act Up, the Gay Liberatn Front, Gay Activists Alliance, Gay and Lbian Advot and Defenrs, Lbian Rights Project, Natnal Gay and Lbian Task Force, Natnal Gay Rights Advot, and Queer Natn, to name only a few.

And the variety of openly lbian and gay anizatns, polil groups, and service agenci existence monstrat the movement's succs, as well as the velopment of a sense of inty and muny, a “nscns of kd, ” that has grown out of this movement, dramatilly improvg the qualy of life.
The argument is this: gay sex alone n’t produce children, and for tras to evolve, they have to be passed onto children, who get some form of petive advantage om them. In a paper published yterday by myself and De Universy profsor Brian Hare, we propose human sexualy (cludg homosexualy) evolved as an oute of the evolutn of creased sociabily humans. In our clost primate relative, the bonobo, straight and gay sex have val rol play, social transactns, barter of food, same-sex social bondg and bondg between matg pairs.
Gay sex and attractn may have evolved bee dividuals wh a gree of same-sex attractn benefed om greater social mobily, tegratn and stronger same-sex social bonds. Many studi sce the pneerg rearch of Aled Ksey and lleagu have emphasised that sexual mori occur across all cultur, and the levels of gay and bisexual people populatns have been que stable over time. Our hypothis predicts that bisexualy and people who intify as “mostly straight” should be more mon than people who intify as exclively gay, and this is the se.
