The Queer &Trans Alliance,formerly known as the Ten Percent Society,is the name of the first gay rights organization in North Dakota created by students and faculty at the University of North Dakota in 1982.

While the organization had little early success,it started to foster an increased tolerance for gay people and a more active LGBT rights movement in North Dakota.

Moscow Pride is a demonstration of lesbians,gays,bisexuals,and transgender persons (LGBT). It was intended to take place in May annually since 2006 in the Russian capital Moscow,but has been regularly banned by Moscow City Hall,headed by Mayor Yuri Luzhkov until 2010. The demonstrations in 2006,2007,and 2008 were all accompanied by homophobic attacks,which was avoided in 2009 by moving the site of the demonstration at the last minute. The organizers of all of the demonstrations were Nikolai Alekseev and the Russian LGBT Human Rights Project Gayrussia.ru. In June 2012,Moscow courts enacted a hundred-year ban on gay pride parades. The European Court of Human Rights has repeatedly ruled that such bans violate freedom of assembly guaranteed by the European Convention of Human Rights.

LGBT conservatism refers to LGBT individuals with conservative political views. It is an umbrella term used for what is bifurcated into two specific sub-categories,each with its own term and meaning. The first sub-categorical term,Pre-Stonewall LGBT Conservatives,refers to LGBT individuals embracing and promoting the ideology of a traditional and often anti-LGBT conservatism in either a general or specifically-LGBT social context or environment. The second sub-categorical term,Post-Stonewall LGBT Conservatives,refers to self-affirming LGBT persons with fiscally,culturally,and politically conservative views. These post-Stonewall conservatives' social views,though generally conservative too,at the same time reflect a self-determination-stemmed and more recent socio-historical "gay-affirmation" on issues like marriage equality for same-sex couples,gay family recognition,civic equality generally for LGBT people in society,and also a positive role for (gay-affirming) religion in LGBT life,though there is not complete unanimity of opinion among them on all issues,especially those regarding the dynamics and politics of the closet and "identity management," and various legal and political issues The first term can include LGBT people who are actually opposed to same-sex marriage or other LGBTQ rights while the second term,contrastingly,usually refers to self-affirming gay people who unequivocally favor marriage as a legal institution for both hetero- and homosexuals and who simultaneously prefer economic and political conservatism more generally. The number of self-affirming LGBT advocates for conservative ideas and policies became more apparent only after the advent of the modern LGBT civil rights movement in the 1970s even as many gay conservatives then did remain closeted in areas where (antigay) socially conservative politicians led the most organized opposition to LGBT rights. The Realpolitik and ideology situations for LGBT conservatives today vary by their own self-definition,and each country's sociopolitical,cultural,and legal LGBT rights landscape.
