Several years ago, the gay community applied for a permit to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston. When denied, the gay community filed suit and won. Rather than permitting the gay community to march in the parade, the parade trustees canceled the event.
Sociologists would suggest this conflict in values between the trustees of the parade and the gay community would eventually lead to:
A) consensus that gays are evil because they caused a traditional event to be canceled
B) social change that brings attention to gay rights and eventual acceptance
C) social integration of the gay and straight communities resulting in a bisexual society
D) armed conflict, or "cultural war," between the gay and straight communities
Answer (3)
Social change that brings attention to gay rights and eventual acceptance. The answer is B. Hopefully that helps.
B) Social change that brings attention to gay rights and eventual acceptance ;
The conflict between the gay community and the St. Patrick's Day Parade trustees illustrates a clash of values that can lead to increased awareness and eventual social change regarding LGBTQ+ rights. This suggests that option B, which states that it leads to social change and acceptance, is the most accurate. These types of events often initiate discussions that contribute to evolving societal norms.
