The text is split into three parts covering the post-Civil war period to the 1980's, contemporary issues and legal arguments. 330 $bThis text provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal issues concerning gender and sexual nonconformity in the United States. Part one, which covers the years from the post-Civil War to the 1980's, is a history of state efforts to discipline and punish the behaviour of homosexuals and other people considered to be deviant. during this period such people could get by only at the cost of suppressing their most basic feelings and emotions. Part two addresses contemporary issues. although it is no longer illegal to be openly gay in America, homosexuals still suffer from state discrimination in the military and in other realms, and private discrimination and violence against gays is prevalent. The author presents a rigorously argued case for the "sexualization" of the First Amendment, showing why, for example, same-sex ceremonies and intimacy should be considered "expressive conduct" deserving the protection of the courts.; He draws on legal reasoning, sociological studies, and history to develop an effective response to the arguments made in defense of the military ban. The concluding part of the book locales the author's legal arguments within the larger currents of liberal theory and integrates them into a general stance toward freedom, gender equality, and religious pluralism. 606 $aHomosexuality$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aGays$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 606 $aLesbians$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHomosexuality$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aGays$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aLesbians$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a342.73087 700 $aEskridge$b William N$0965010 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455069003321 996 $aGaylaw$92189421 997 $aUNINA
