In the 1970s, the struggle was more basic. Gay people were fighting for the right to not be arrested for their private relationships. They were also fighting for the right not to be beaten up or attacked simply for walking down the street.
The fight didn't expand much to other rights such as hospital visitation, marriage, adoption, and military service until the early 2000s.
