Gay Rights Movement
A popular rights movement happening now in America is the Gay Rights Movement. Much like the sit-in done by Doris the protesters now use peaceful protest to accomplish their goals. The sit-in is no longer used, instead a new form of peaceful protest, called "kiss-ins", have replaced them. The most popular of which occurring at Chick-Fil-As around the country. After the Owner donated money to groups opposed to same-sex marriage gay couples flooded stores across the country to kiss in front of them. The "kiss-ins" have been able to raise the issue to the forefront. This exposure has been putting pressure on lawmakers to make a decision on same-sex marriage. Some lawmakers have agreed with these protesters and have put bans on Chick-Fil-A growth in their region. Since Chick-Fil-A still serves gay customers the "kiss-ins" have not caused the company to actually change its policies.
Since the company is so large and has stores spanning across the country Chick-Fil-A has not had to change its policies. Just like the sit-in in Doris is Coming, the "kiss-ins" are not large enough to cause change. However, when these sort of peaceful protests gain enough support they can cause change that is seen profoundly.
