About James Charles
Everybody has their right to choose their own partner. One has the freedom to marry, live in, or break up with the partner in America. But things were not always the same for the people. People didn’t have permission to be in a homophobic relationship. It was like a crime to accept being gay or lesbian. Before 1974, the country and the people treated gay as a mental disease. People used to recommend gay in a mental institution for treatment. Doctors used to give them lobotomies, aversion therapy, and even electric shock treatment. It was only in the year 1974 when the law removed homosexuality as a physical disorder from the American Psychiatric Association’s list of psychological disorders.
Likewise, there was a restriction on the migration of gays and lesbians. There was an immigration policy from 1953 that restricted the movement of homosexuals. The policy ended up in practice in 1990. The Gay Liberation Movement in 1969 was an important milestone that gave the marginalized group their rights. During the year, police were acting brutally against gays and lesbians in Greenwich Village’s Stonewall. After the incident, 2000 patrons of the community united and fight for two nights with severe riots. This gave them their right as American citizens.
