Description: Collection of writings detailing the expansion of Gay Rights across the United States. Clips of articles and postings from Time Magazine and a leaflet distributed at high schools are compiled onto the left side of the poster. Some offer support of gay rights while others critique the demands and concerns of different LGBTQ+ activist groups. The right side of the poster rejects the demands for equal rights, and opposes the passing of Measures A and B in San Jose that would offer more protection to LGBTQ+ individuals. The final page provides opposing facts to the demands of activist groups, and how the city would be impacted through the passage of laws outlined in Measures A and B.
