Question

Several years ago, the gay community applied for a permit to march in the St. Patrick Day's Parade in Boston. When denied, the gay community filed suit and won. Rather than permitting the gay community to march in the parade, the parade trustees cancelled the event. Sociologists would suggest this conflict in values between the trustees of the parade and the gay community would eventually lead to ________.

Answer 1

B) social change that brings attention to gay rights and eventual acceptance.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A) consensus that gays are evil because they caused a traditional event to be cancelled.

B) social change that brings attention to gay rights and eventual acceptance.

C) social integration of the gay and straight communities resulting in a bisexual society.

D) armed conflict, or "cultural war, " between the gay and straight communities.

Sociologists suggests that when a conflict of values exists in society, this usually brings attention to the subject. This can be seen in situations such as the civil rights movement and female suffrage. Often, this attention to a subset of the population can bring about social change, resulting in bringing more rights and acceptance to that specific community.
