In the reading, “Resources in LGBTQ History in the United States: 1900 to 2019” written by Lisa N. Johnston reviews a handful of impactful events that brought national awareness to the LGBTQ community. The reading discuss a centuryʻs improvement for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer rights that tie into civil rights and antidiscrimination protections. People who should be automatically included into society fought years for basic human rights because many in society think that they do not belong. The reading dives into the different laws passed, riots started, and immense efforts into fitting the large history of the LGBTQ community.

In the writing, Johnston includes the fiftieth anniversary of the police raid on the Stonewall Inn that occurred in New York City. This riot began on June 28, 1969, and continued for a few more days. “The Stonewall Inn catered to an LGBTQ clientel that included drag queens, hustlers, transgender women of color, and homeless gay teens”(Johnston 2019) which brought the brutal truth that people of color, those with different sexual orentation, and those kicked out of their homes because of their preferences. This riot shows the brutality that these certain people needed to endure.

-Katie spoke a lot about the meaning of Ethos and used it as a method to clearly relate it to the methods she recommended people use in an argument.

-My paragraph lacked details about Ethos.

-We had similar methods of addressing what we needed in a successful argument.

-I thought her perspective was very interesting sting because she was straight to the point with all of her details. It is important to be straight to you point when explaining your argument.
