First Thoughts

Overall this is an exciting and completely relevant topic. I think its totally unique in how modern it is considering most of the lgbt civil rights movement took place in the late 20th century up until now. This will certainly make the research different but I don't think that's a bad thing. It will also be unique to research certain topics that would be completely different from the other groups'. Its also important to note that because it is such a new issue, relatively, the opinions about it are strong and also highly opposing. It will be very interesting for me because i get to research the lgbt fight for marriage equality which is somewhat of a first for a social group in the way of civil liberties. The fact that most or all of the protesting and battle for equal marriage is new will lead to heated debates i imagine. Overall this topic should be quite different from other research projects I have done because of its modern timeline and small link to the past.
