Question 1

1 A: " How world war 2 changed the lives of LGBT community"

1 B: Issue 4

World War II was quite unusual in the way that it so fundamentally changed American society. Over fifteen million Americans moved to urban centers to work in defense jobs, and just about as many men were drafted. Women entered the job market en masse. African Americans moved to the North. Ethnic Mexicans were shipped into California to replace the "relocated" Japanese-Americans. Normalcy was turned on its head as just about every facet of life, from family structure to gender roles, changed. The war also had quite an effect on American gay life, even if we don't talk about that as much when we discuss World War II

question 5-

you can ask questions like- "Has the LGBT  community recieved the kind of support it deserved or there is still scope of improvement?"

or like - "Are the voices of LGBT community really been heard?"

or - "Should there be a need for recognizing this is a seperate community? because we are not different and everyone is a human being? Then is categorization of people actually giving to much importance to gender stereotypes?"
