By combining analyses of nearly three hundred cases from both federal and state courts with detailed explorations of the paths these issues have taken through legislative and executive bodies, she provides the most comprehensive analysis of queer rights in law and policy to date. Both scholars seeking a case study in minority rights and those looking for a primer in gay and lesbian politics will find Mezey's book of interest. 606 $aGay rights$zUnited States 606 $aGay people$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 606 $aHomosexuality$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 615 0$aGay rights 615 0$aGay people$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aHomosexuality$xLaw and legislation 676 $a346.7301/3 700 $aMezey$b Susan Gluck$f1944-$01634779 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821940303321 996 $aQueers in court$94072045 997 $aUNINA
