After the Stonewall riots in 1969, the LGBTQ+ community's main policy goal was to achieve basic civil rights and protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. This included fighting against discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations, as well as advocating for the decriminalization of homosexuality. Additionally, there were efforts to increase visibility and acceptance of LGBTQ+ people through education and awareness campaigns. Another goal was to form a community and support system for those who were marginalized and discriminated against. The community also sought to change laws and regulations to ensure the rights and protection of LGBTQ+ people, including the fight for marriage equality.
