It all started with how LGBT+ came into the world.

Chapter 1 How it all started

The history of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) rights movement is complex and spans many decades. It began as a response to the discrimination and social stigma faced by individuals with non-heterosexual orientations and gender identities. Here's a simplified overview: 1. Early Advocacy (Late 19th to Early 20th Century): The roots of the movement can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when some individuals started advocating for the rights and acceptance of same-sex attraction and gender diversity. 2.

Stonewall Riots (1969): One pivotal moment in the history of the LGBT rights movement was the Stonewall riots in New York City in 1969. A police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar, led to several days of protests and clashes with law enforcement. This event is often considered the catalyst for the modern LGBT rights movement. 3. Formation of Activist Groups: Following Stonewall, various LGBT activist groups and organizations started to form across the United States, advocating for equal rights, decriminalization of homosexuality, and an end to discrimination. 4. Early Legal Victories: Throughout the 1970s, there were incremental legal victories, including the removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's list of mental disorders in 1973 and the legalization of same-sex marriage in some countries and U.S. states. 5. The AIDS Crisis (1980s-1990s): The HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s had a significant impact on the LGBT community. Activists fought for better healthcare, awareness, and support, which also contributed to increased visibility. 6. Advancements in Rights and Acceptance: Over the years, there were numerous legal and social advancements, including anti-discrimination laws, the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the U.S. military, and growing public support for LGBT rights. 7. Marriage Equality: A significant milestone was reached when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015. 8. Ongoing Struggles: While there has been progress, challenges remain, such as combating discrimination, ensuring transgender rights, and addressing global LGBTQ+ issues. The LGBT rights movement has evolved and grown over time, with contributions from countless activists, allies, and community members. It's important to recognize that this movement is ongoing, and progress continues to be made in the fight for equality and acceptance.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
