REASON TO WIN: Why this nominee deserves to win the Best Contribution to the Advancement of LGBTQ+ Equity in the United States award. This is the most important part of the assignment. You need to do more than just say “Because this person helped increase acceptance for LGBTQ+ people.” Be specific, naming specific things this person did, when they did these things, challenges they faced, how their actions fit in with material we’ve covered in this course, etc. Be sure to think about how this person’s identities (sex, gender, race, class, age, etc) may have played a role in their work for LGBTQ+ equality.
