Wordpress. N.p., n.d. Web. 5 Jan. 2014. <http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/stats-on-humanrights/statistics-on-discrimination/statistics-on-discrimination-of-homosexuals/#>. We decided to use this GIF to show how America has gone from an anti-homosexual to a more willing country. The two most populated states have now legalized gay marriage, which is what we wanted to show the most. During the last few years, the number of red states have only increased, showing the progression. This is a primary source since it is a map with first hand information from today's age. Davis, Madeline. Stonewall Nation. 1971. LP. We used this audio clip since the lyrics talked about Stonewall, and it is the first gay liberation song ever recorded. Davis mentioned that she wrote this song as she was coming home from her first protest. This song is a primary source because Madeline Davis composed and sung it herself. - - -. Radically Gay. Ed. Will Roscoe. Boston: Beacon, 1996. Print. This book is a primary source because it was written by Harry Hay himself. This book gives us a considerable amount of knowledge of Harry Hay's thoughts during the founding of the Mattachine Society. In the book there are several insightful portions about the rights and responsibilities of homosexuals. Also included in the book is a timeline that goes year by year highlighting significant events beginning in 1912 and ending in 1994.

Leitsch, Dick. Remembering a 1966 'Sip-In' for Gay Rights. Interview by Scott Simon. National Public Radio. N.p., 28 June 2008. Web. 1 Jan. 2014. <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91993823>. This audio clip was used to show a first-hand experience from someone who was in the Mattachine Society. The clip talks of a 1966 "Sip In" where Dick Leitsch, then head of the New York Mattachine Society, is interviewed by Scott Simon of NPR. Leitsch described that "...until this time, gay people had never really fought back", but this is the time where they began to, and they won. The clip also speaks of what the court had to say about it, and that it was a constitutional right to peacefully assemble. The rights of the gay citizens had been protected by the responsibilities that the judicial branch had to uphold. This source is primary because Dick Leitsch was an original member, and was there himself at the event. Macy, John W. Letter to Bruce Schuyler. 28 Sept. 1962. TS. Rainbow History Project. This letter, written in 1962, emphasizes how homosexuals were not tolerated in the time. Macy states that he does not believe homosexuals are "suitable" for a position in the federal office. The Mattachine Society, as stated, was one of the earliest homosexual organizations in the United States. The fact that the government did not recognize the society as useful shows the discrimination, which is one of the things we wanted to show in our project. This letter is a primary source since it is a letter. Same Love. Perf. Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, and Mary. 2012. CD. We used this song on the conclusion page since it is a modern song about gays. The lyrics talk of how many homosexuals feel this day in age, which is not different from those of

the 20th century and before. This source is primary because it is an original song by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, and it is performed by them. Shaping San Francisco, prod. Harry Hay on Language and Labels in the 1930s. Archive.org. N.p., n.d. Web. 6 Jan. 2014. <https://archive.org/details/HarryHayOnLanguageAndLabelsInThe1930s>. This primary video was an original interview conducted by 'Shaping San Francisco' with Harry Hay himself. We put this on the background page in order to give some information on how it was like to be gay around the 1930's time period. He mentions that the word gay or homosexual was not even used until the late thirties, and how only topnotch universities used the word. We found it very surprising and thought many other people would think so too. United States. Declaration of Independence. Washington: GPO, 1776. US History. Web. 2 Jan. 2014. <http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/>. The United States Declaration of Independence is a primary source because it is an official government document. We were able to use it to show that all people, including homosexuals, have unalienable rights that cannot be taken away from individuals without due process of law. US Const. amend. I. National Archives. Web. 1 Jan. 2014. <http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html>. The United States Constitution is a primary source because it is an official government document. From this amendment, we were able to connect it to politicians and show how they religious beliefs are forbidden to influence their decisions on the process of voting on laws.

Web. 5 Jan. 2014. <http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/stats-on-human-rights/statistics-ondiscrimination/statistics-on-discrimination-of-homosexuals/>.

We decided to show this to note the progression of gay acceptance from the 1980's to today. This source is primary since it is a demographic representation in a chart format; it is first hand information.

Secondary Sources Aldrich, Robert, ed. Gay Life and Culture: A World History. New York: Universe, 2006. Print. We used this book to figure out what homosexual life was like in the early 20th century, and also to read about their brief description of the Mattachine Society. We were able to emphasize about homosexual life during the World Wars because those wars were such an important part of United States history, in terms of growth and development of the nation. The book also contained lots of good photos that we cited separately. This book is a secondary source because it is a compilation of stories and events retold in one informational book. Berube, Allan. Coming Out Under Fire. New York: Free, 1990. Print. This book is a secondary source because it was written by a researcher who complied the stories and events dealing with the homosexual rights.

Facts on File. N.p., 2010. Web. 5 Jan. 2014. <http://www.fofweb.com/NuHistory/default.asp?ItemID=WE52>. This article, taken from the 'Encyclopedia of American History: The Great Depression and World War II, 1929 to 1945', was used to see just how gays and lesbians of that time lived. The "emergence of a more active homosexual subculture in such major cities as New York and Los Angeles" made new opportunities for them, letting them embrace their sexuality more. But they also talked about the strictness that started to uphold during World War II, when screenings for homosexuality were conducted unlike during World War I. We knew this would be good to incorporate in the background information to

show the setting and atmosphere of the time period. This is a secondary source because the person writing this did not live in the era and is a researcher. Miller, Neil. Out of the Past: Gay and Lesbian History from 1869 to the Present. New York: Vintage, 1995. Print. This book gave many insightful stories and a full biography on the Mattachine Society, from how it was founded to its downfall. In particular, we took the story about Stonewall and the police raids and related it back to the society. Ultimately, the Mattachine Society is what sparked these people's stands for gay rights.

This secondary source writes about the history of the Mattachine Society in an archival document that consists of materials now donated to ONE Institute. We were able to grab certain reactions that heterosexuals developed for this newly found group. This is where we found the story about the journalist who wrote a degrading article, hurting Mattachine's reputation a bit. It also talks of how this led to Hay's dismissal, which was an important decision in the future of the Society. "Persecution of Homosexuals." Anne Frank Guide. Anne Frank Stichting, n.d. Web. 5 Jan. 2014. <http://www.annefrankguide.net/en-gb/bronnenbank.asp?oid=3141>. We used this website to describe the "Pink Triangles" worn on the prisoner uniforms of homosexuals in the War. We thought this would be good to show people that it wasn't just Jews who were placed in concentration camps, but gays as well. We also included

the photo. This would be a secondary source since this is an article talking about what happened in the past. "Quotes about Gay Rights." GoodReads. N.p., n.d. Web. 2 Jan. 2014. <http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/gay-rights>.

In the book Timmons does a great job of showing some of the events Hay went through in his life.

Timmons tells us of how the whole idea got started from Hay and does a great job of showing analysis of his research.
