In the early 1900's, homosexuality gained attention increasingly. In 1951, the Mattachite Society was formed by Harry Hay and is considered to be the first national gay rights organization. This organization is what is thought to have sparked the gay rights movement. More and more organizations were established and soon society started to realize that gay people's rights were not defined yet. As gay individuals realized this, they felt that they needed to start to fight for their rights. As people around gay individuals found out about gay individuals' sexual orientation, some accepted them as they were but some did not accept. Gays and lesbians were discriminated against in the workforce and other public places. They were considered sometimes in some places to be "mentally ill." Gay individuals soon realized, after this discrimination, that they were being treated without their so-called "rights." It was true that they had rights as humans, but their orientation, according to the government, had not yet defined and specified their rights as gay individuals.
