• What were the most interesting discoveries you made as you researched your topic?

• What is the significance of the paradigm shift you explored? In other words, what do you feel is most important point for your reader to take away from your paper?

The shift in views of LGBT+ people in America is significant because it is still occurring today and LGBT+ people are directly affected by how we go about it in the future. I think the most important point for my reader to take away from my paper would be that there is still so much room for improvement in terms of rights and discrimination, despite all of the advancements that have been made in the past few decades.

• How has this project helped you develop as a writer?
