Answer to Question 1

LGBTQ student organizations provide safe havens for students who would otherwise feel that they are alone. They offer opportunities for making connections with other students with whom they share common bonds. These organizations may also serve to educate others about issues in the LGBTQ community through film series, guest-speaker appearances, and similar programs. Organizations provide safe places for people to come out. Antidiscrimination laws have begun to change. In urban areas there are often neighborhoods where many sexual minorities live in close proximity to each other.

Answer to Question 2

Since the 1970s, married men have been spending significantly more time with their children and doing a bit more housework. Many more married men have adapted to having a wife who works outside of the home, and men in general have grown accustomed to working alongside women and competing with women for jobs and opportunities. However, the large changes in gender roles of the last 50 years have moved men into what had been female realms much less than they have moved women into previously male-dominated activities. It has been less appealing for men to enter traditionally female activities such as child care, homemaking, and female occupations because they often pay less than traditionally male occupations, if at all, and such moves are much more stigmatized than women taking on male roles. Men's wages have not increased (when adjusted for the cost of living), nor have they moved into female-dominated occupations in significant numbers. Men's wages have decreased in jobs where only a high-school diploma is needed to do the work.
