This casebook on the law of sexual orientation and gender identity weaves interdisciplinary perspectives into the up-to-date coverage of a rapidly changing legal landscape. It provides comprehensive coverage of the range of legal issues concerning LGBTQ persons, along with scholarly commentary on these issues. It also covers issues of sexuality and gender more broadly. It addresses in depth many significant recent developments, including the Supreme Court's landmark decision interpreting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation, and the growing set of religious liberty claims asserted by opponents of LGBTQ equality measures. The book also extensively covers gender identity issues, including the challenges faced by transgender individuals in accessing sex-segregated facilities, adequate healthcare, and equal educational and athletic opportunities.

This book puts the law concerning lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people into a social context.

The book provides a detailed course designed for an upper-level law school seminar, but introductory explanation provided for major legal concepts makes it suitable for beginning students as well.

Eskridge (law, Georgetown U.) and Hunter (law, Brooklyn School) believe that gender and sexuality will be the future "crucible" on which equal protection doctrine will be forged, providing a lively, scholarly presentation of pertinent legal documents across a broad range of politically charged legal debates. The reference text considers constitutional, historical and theoretical groundings (heavy on the Foucault) and specific legal conundrums such as whether to publish rape victims' names, the outing of gays and lesbians, issues of family law, sexual harassment, prostitution, obscenity, and transsexual rights. Includes six appendices documenting statutes, ordinances, and provisions to the Constitution, and laws in Wisconsin, Texas, and California. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
