The social movement of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender plus (LGBT+) community has been a long and strenuous journey. They are at work to demolish homophobia and radiate acceptance for everyone’s sexuality across the country. This movement began in San Francisco, California in 1955 with the first LGBT+ rights group, Daughter of Bilitis, or DOB. DOB was founded by four lesbian couple, who include Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin; their goal was to attain equal rights for gay marriage. DOB followed the homophile movement that was established by the Mattachine Society, which was founded five years prior. They encouraged their followers to spread the word to the ignorant, in hopes of eliminating the toxic homophobic culture in the process.
