“31 Days of Gay.” is the motto members and supporters of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community this month. October is LGBT History Month, and this year there is a lot to celebrate. The LGBT community has made tremendous leaps in marriage equality and equality overall. Although the road to complete equality has been and will be long it’s a time celebrate how far the community has come. Within the past two decades there has been an immense push forward for the LGBT community, specifically in the fight for the right to marry. Here are some land-mark cases and events in the LGBT community with emphasis on past 20 years. The following Fordham students were invited to share their comments on the timeline’s events: Michelle Thomas, FCLC ’14, Javed Yunus, FCLC ’14, Manuel Del Nino, FCLC ’12, Massiel Garcia, FCRH ’13 and Christine Parker, FCRH ’13.
