Document other times in American history when "Whitch Hunts" were conducted and discuss the outcome of the Salem Witch hunts and other whitch hunts

Witch Trail of Gays and Lesbians in the 90's
This website gives a good insight of what life was like back in the 90's. This website gives and actually incidents were the gays and lesbians tried to revolt in Washington D.C. they were struggling for there Civil Rights. I wonder then if homosexuals will ever enter the mainstream of society. At the end of this website there is a response sections were people committed for or against the Gays and the Lesbians and there, if they have a role in society.

Here is another website that talks about a witch hunt that is about segregation in the United States. He goes on to explain how so many people are judged because ot their ethnicity and race. I really enjoyed reading about this website its a great example of how judging we can be. Enjoy!

Great start- the gay and lesbian site was really informative. The site on Arthur Miller was interesting but its lack of an author makes me suspicious of its content.

Good site. It explained some of the prejuidice towards gay and some of the extremes that the anti-gay people went to to harass the gay people.

This site is great for the question! I think in your description of the site though, you made a few mistakes which might confuse some people. For instance in your second sentence, you should probably say give actual incidents where the gays etc. and in the last sentence say commented not committed. Nice job though.

3. Good choice, but the page is so long to read. I skimmed and found it to be fairly well, it describes what happened and looks like a great site. You may want to add some more information though.

That site was a nice example for the question. It explained how the gay people get harassed just because they are different.

This site is really informative and explains the prejudice times that gays had to experience. Good job and good site but you may want to add more actual occurrences.

Unless it's a bunch of hooey and there is no actuality to their claims...

I thought this was a good site and presented a good and relevant example of witch hunts that are taking place right now in the US. Although it seems very thorough, though,I found it to be too long and overwhelming to actually read.

This is a good site because it deals with a witch hunt that our generation is facing now. I wonder too if this witch hunt will soon end.

It's hard to imagine what life was like for people back before our time--when people were largely discriminated against. I know that discrimination still exists, but it really helps that now we have organizations that are helping to decrease, if not eliminate, this issue.
