	AmericanHeritage.com / 1973: The Year That Changed Everything?
		In his new book, 1973 Nervous Breakdown: Watergate, Warhol, and the Birth of Post-Sixties America, the historian Andreas Killen christens 1973 “Year one of the culture wars.” By which he means that it marked the end of the idealism and political transformation of the sixties and the start of a new conservatism and political malaise.
		Wade, gay rights, and women’s liberation began to gain force.
		The culture wars that Killen argues started in 1973 are still being waged, and our political landscape is still very much shaped by what was perhaps the most polarizing event of that year: Roe v.

	Christine Quinn and Gay Rights in NYC (Gotham Gazette. January, 2006)
		Civil Rights refers to the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, and to the laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, creed, gender, age, sexual orientation, and many other criteria.

		As a council member, Manton voted against gay rights; eventually, though, as a member of Congress he became a sponsor of the federal gay rights bill (which is still a bill, not a law).
