Religion

     By the 1970s people started identifying themselves as being gays or lesbians, and wanted an end to the discrimination they faced as a result. While some cities such as San Fransisco and NYC were tolerant of people's sexual orientation, other more conservative areas were anti-gay. Homosexuals in religious groups, such as Episcopal Church, tried to gain influence and rights. In 1975, when the National Council of Churches debated equal rights for homosexuals and voted to support equal  rights while resisting from giving them the rights to participate in Ministry. 

     Woman’s feminism became a crucial part of the 1970s again, as many women tried to gain access to professional lifestyles. With this, came the liberal views and attempts to gain rights in religious positions. The first woman Rabbi came to position in 1972 for the Reformed Jews and in 1970 both American Lutheran groups made a woman’s ordination. However, although several women’s religious groups supported the change, the Roman Catholic Church refused a woman’s ordination.
