10LBTQ ALPHABET SOUPDEFINING OUR TERMS
- Civil Union A form of partnership granted by a
local, state, or national government that
recognizes the relationship between two
individuals. This may or may not be similar to a
marriage and the rights of individuals in a civil
union may be the same or less than those in a
state-sponsored marriage. In the United States
there are several states where civil unions are
available to same-sex couples but these unions do
not provide the same benefits of marriage because
of existing federal law.

- Closeted Refers to individuals who are not open
about their sexuality.
12LBTQ ALPHABET SOUPDEFINING OUR TERMS
- Coming Out (of the Closet) the time when a
person chooses to reveal their sexual orientation
to other people. This is often done in stages
for example people may tell their family and
friends of their orientation but not their
employers or may choose to withhold information
from people whom they do not view as accepting.
13LBTQ ALPHABET SOUPDEFINING OUR TERMS
- Defense of Marriage Act A law signed by
President Bill Clinton in 1996 that says that the
federal government will not recognize any
marriage other than those between one man and one
woman for the purposes of federal benefits. This
means that LGBTQ people do not have access to
1049 federal programs and supports that
heterosexual married people automatically enjoy
including such benefits as social security
survivor benefits, visa benefits and access to
veterans pensions.
14LBTQ ALPHABET SOUPDEFINING OUR TERMS
- Domestic Partnership A registered form of
cohabitation that may be similar to or different
from a civil union. Individuals, both straight
and gay, who enter into domestic partnerships are
not married but have indicated that they have a
partner. In some states this allows straight and
gay couples who are not married to enjoy some of
the benefits of marriage such as sharing health
insurance or transferring property from one
person to another without tax penalties.
15LBTQ ALPHABET SOUPDEFINING OUR TERMS
- Dont Ask, Dont Tell A law signed by President
Bill Clinton in 1993 and repealed by President
Barack Obama in 2010 that barred LGBTQ from
openly serving in the United States military.
When the law was in effect, a commanding officer
or fellow officer was not allowed to ask a person
in the military if he or she was gay, lesbian, or
bisexual (dont ask). LGBTQ people were not
allowed to openly discuss their sexuality or
reveal to anyone that they were gay (dont tell).
In practice thousands of people were discharged
from the military under the policy if it was
found that they had communicated their sexuality
in any way to anyone such as emailing, calling,
or social networking with a partner or attending
events or places frequented by LGBTQ individuals.
Under the new policy lesbian, gay, and bisexual
men and women will be allowed to serve openly.
Transgendered individuals are still not legally
allowed to serve in the military.

- The Stonewall Inn in New York City's West Village
June 28, 1969 - "Standing Up for Gay Rights"
- It was 120 a.m. when eight cops stomped into the
Stonewall Inn, a dive in Manhattan's Greenwich
Village district that had no liquor license but
served watery drinks to a mix of drag queens,
street kids, gay professionals and closeted and
straight mafiosi (who ran the place). Within two
hours, the Village was bleeding and burning as
hundreds rioted. How did the nightly saturnalia
at Stonewall produce protests that would kick
start the modern gay-rights movement? -
- The uprising was inspirited by a potent cocktail
of pent-up rage (raids of gay bars were brutal
and routine) and overwrought emotions (hours
earlier, thousands had wept at the funeral of
Judy Garland). As a 17-year-old cross-dresser was
being led into the paddy wagon and got a shove
from a cop, she fought back. "She hit the cop"
one of her friends later told Martin Duberman,
author of the history of Stonewall. Later, the
deputy police inspector in charge would explain
that day's impact "For those of us in the
public morals division, things were completely
changed ... Suddenly they were not submissive
anymore." Today gays and lesbians memorialize
that night each year with a weekend of rallies,
parades and partiesa spectacle as inspiring as
the Stonewall itself. - John Cloud, Time Magazine

the Stonewall Riots and other civil rights
struggles? - What direction will our country take in the
