Option 1

 * Article title
 * Anderton Park School


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is extremely short, featuring a very brief introductory sentence and a single paragraph about 2019 demonstrations against the school's inclusion of LGBT topics in its relationship and sexuality class. The paragraph provides only very broad, general information about the occurrence.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Atlanta Black Pride


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article talks about a couple of the pride parade's signature events, along with a couple of notable characteristics. It defines the Atlanta Black Parade as the "largest black gay pride celebration in the world with an estimated 100,000 people annually in attendance." For it being the largest black gay pride celebration in the world, this is certainly a short article. There really isn't much history in this article about the Atlanta Black Pride, aside from mentioning that it's been going on annually since 1996. If I were to write for this article, I would focus on expanding upon the event's history and impact, centering around its status as the world's largest black gay pride celebration.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Cologne Pride


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is brief, discussing in a couple of sentences the Cologne Pride's purpose and impact. The article also features a paragraph discussing the history of Cologne Pride, but the paragraph doesn't go into too much detail and lacks any sources whatsoever.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Be gay, do crime


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article talks about the history, meaning, and legacy of the phrase "be gay, do crime", a popular slogan for the LGBT community that seems to have originated in the 2010s. The article does a good job of introducing these three aspects of the slogan, but lacks a lot of substance. If I were to focus on this article, I would create a new section for the writing found in the first and second links below, along with trying to expand on the phrase's impact.
