Let's just look at a few of these strategies.
让我们来看看其中一些策略吧：
First off, it's really interesting to see,to actually visually see, how quick the gay rights movement has made its gains,if you look at a few of the major events on a timeline of both freedom movements.
首先，非常有趣地，如果你们回顾下，漫漫自由路上的一些主要事件,你们会发现至少表面上如此同性恋权利运动，是呈何等飞速在增长啊！
Now, there are tons of milestones in the civil rights movement,but the first one we're going to start with is the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott.
民权运动，已知的，就有数以万计的里程碑事件。现在，让我们从，1955年蒙哥马利公共汽车抵制事件说起。
This was a protest campaign against Montgomery, Alabama's segregation on their public transit system,and it began when a woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white person.
这场运动旨在反对，亚拉巴马州，蒙哥马利市对于公共交通系统的，种族隔离政策。它的导火索是，一位叫Rosa Parks的女士，拒绝为一位白人让座。
The campaign lasted a year,and it galvanized the civil rights movement like nothing had before it.
此场运动持续一年，它前所未有地，激励了民权运动
And I call this strategy the I'm tired of your foot on my neck strategy.
我称此策略为：我不再匍匐于你跟前。
So gays and lesbians have been in society since societies began,but up until the mid-20th century,homosexual acts were still illegal in most states.
男同及女同自社会产生起，即与之共生。但直到20世纪中期之前，同性恋行为在大部分的州依然违法。
So just 14 years after the Montgomery bus boycott,a group of LGBT folks took that same strategy.
所以，仅在蒙哥马利公交车抵制事件后14年，即1969年，同性恋社区的一伙人，就采取了相同的策略，
It's known as Stonewall, in 1969,and it's where a group of LGBT patrons fought back against police beatings at a Greenwich Village bar that sparked three days of rioting.
即我们所称的石墙事件。三天骚乱后，星星之火，终于点燃。在格林尼治酒吧的同性恋顾客，以暴制暴，勇敢反抗警察围捕。
Incidentally, black and latino LGBT folks were at the forefront of this rebellion,and it's a really interesting example of the intersection of our struggles against racism, homophobia, gender identity and police brutality.
巧合的是，于此役，黑人和拉丁美洲的同性恋者被推向统一战线。这是我们反抗种族主义，同性恋恐惧症，性别歧视，及政策偏袒的鲜明之例。
After Stonewall happened, gay liberation groups sprang up all over the country,and the modern gay rights movement as we know it took off.
石墙事件后不久，同性恋自由组织如雨后春笋般，在全国涌现。并最终发展成我们如今知晓的，同性恋权利运动。
So the next moment to look at on the timeline is the 1963 March on Washington.
接着，我们要回顾的，是1963年的向华盛顿进军。
This was a seminal event in the civil rights movement and it's where African-Americans called for both civil and economic justice.
这是民权运动中，具有里程碑意义的事件，这是非裔美国人呼唤权利与财政公平之始。
And it's of course where Martin Luther King elivered his famous I have a dream speech,but what's actually less known is that this march was organized by a man named Bayard Rustin.
这也是马丁路德金发表著名的《我有一个梦想》之处。但鲜为人知的是，这次游行，是由一个叫Bayard Rustin的人组织的。
Bayard was an out gay man, Bayard and he's considered one of the most brilliant strategists of the civil rights movement.
是一名出柜了的同性恋，也被认为是民权运动中，最杰出的决策者之一。
He later in his life became a fierce advocate of LGBT rights as well, and his life is testament to the intersection of the struggles.
他后来，也成为了同性恋权利运动的热情拥护者。他的一生，亦证明了民权运动和同性恋权利运动的交集。
The March on Washington
向华盛顿进军
is one of the high points of the movement,and it's where there was a fervent belief that African-Americans too could be a part of American democracy.
是此一运动（民权运动）的巅峰之一，同时，也体现了非裔美国人也是美国民主制度一部分的热切信念。
I call this strategy the We are visible and many in numbers strategy.
我称这个策略为我们聚合众生，将被见证。
Some early gay activists were actually directly inspired by the march,and some had taken part.
有些早期的同性恋活动家，实际上直接被这一游行鼓舞。他们中的一些人甚至参加了这一游行。
Gay pioneer Jack Nichols said,We marched with Martin Luther King,seven of us from the Mattachine Society,which was an early gay rights organization and from that moment on, we had our own dream about a gay rights march of similar proportions.
同性恋权利运动的先驱者Jack Nichols道：我们同马丁路德金一起游行，我们中有七个人来自马特辛社区，一个早期同性恋组织-自此，我们梦想同性恋权利运动，如它般卓尔不群。
Several years later, a series of marches took place,each one gaining the momentum of the gay freedom struggle.
几年后，出现了一系列的游行每一次都在为同性恋自由的抗争积蓄能量。
The first one was in 1979,and the second one took place in 1987.
第一次是1979年，然后第二次是1987年。
The third one was held in 1993.
第三次游行发生在1993年。
Almost a million people showed up,and people were so energized and excited by what had taken place,they went back to their own communities and started their own political and social organizations,further increasing the visibility of the movement.
有近百万人参与，人们因所发生的欢欣鼓舞，他们回到各自的社区，组建自己的政治性组织，或社会性组织，以求使这一运动遍及大众视野。
