Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that many of the strategies were based on civil disobedience, which involved breaking the law in a peaceful way in order to bring attention to policy change.
2,Provide examples such as sit-ins (where protesters sat at segregated lunch counters and refused to leave) and freedom rides.
3, Evaluate whether those currently fighting for gay rights could successfully advance their cause through engaging in these tactics. Answers will vary, but an ideal response could note that these tactics are some of the most effective ways to create media attention and, ultimately, sympathy from the public. Others may argue that nonviolent resistance would not work well for the gay rights movement because similar segregationist laws are not in effect for gays and lesbians.
