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.

Human Rights, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity by Anne Hellum Pdf

How human rights principles, like the right to gender identity, freedom, integrity and equality, respond to the concerns of different groups of adults and children who experience gender harm due to the binary conception of sexuality and gender identity is the overall theme of this book. The Yogyakarta Principles on the Application of International Human Rights Law in Relation to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity are analysed in the light of the dynamic jurisprudence of different human rights treaty bodies. Whether and how the status quo of gender duality is reproduced, in spite of international law’s growing recognition of the multiplicity of sexualities and gender identities, is discussed. How transgender men, in countries that permit legal gender change, have been successfully prosecuted for gender fraud by female partners claiming to be unaware of their gender history is given attention. While human rights discourse related to LGBTI persons so far has been moulded on the experiences of adults this book gives voice to the concerns of gender-non confirming children. The jurisprudence of the Child Rights Committee, with focus on the complex social and legal issues faced by gender non-confirming children, is addressed. Through narratives, that give voice to these children’s experiences, the book demonstrates how the legal gender assigned at birth impacts on their feeling of recognition, self-confidence and self-respect in the private, social, and legal spheres. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Nordic Journal of Human Rights.

Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and International Human Rights Law by Kerry O'Halloran Pdf

This book identifies, analyses and discusses the nexus of legal issues that have emerged in recent years around sexuality and gender. It audits these against specific human rights requirements and evaluates the outcomes as evidenced in the legislation and caselaw of six leading common law jurisdictions. Beginning with a snapshot of the legal definitions and sanctions associated with the traditional marital family unit, the book examines the subsequently evolving key concepts and constructs before outlining the contemporary international framework of human rights as it relates to matters of sexuality and gender. It proceeds by identifying a set of themes, including the rights to identity, to form a family, to privacy, to equality and to non-discrimination, and undertakes a comparative evaluation of how these and other themes indicate areas of commonality and difference in the approaches adopted in those common law jurisdictions, as illustrated by the associated legislation and caselaw. It then considers why this should be and assesses the implications.

Sexuality, Gender, and the Law by William N. Eskridge,Nan D. Hunter Pdf

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

What Obergefell V. Hodges Should Have Said by Jack M. Balkin Pdf

Rewriting the Supreme Court's landmark gay rights decision Jack Balkin and an all-star cast of legal scholars, sitting as a hypothetical Supreme Court, rewrite the famous 2015 opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges, which guaranteed same-sex couples the right to marry. In eleven incisive opinions, the authors offer the best constitutional arguments for and against the right to same-sex marriage, and debate what Obergefell should mean for the future. In addition to serving as Chief Justice of this imaginary court, Balkin provides a critical introduction to the case. He recounts the story of the gay rights litigation that led to Obergefell, and he explains how courts respond to political mobilizations for new rights claims. The social movement for gay rights and marriage equality is a powerful example of how--through legal imagination and political struggle--arguments once dismissed as "off-the-wall" can later become established in American constitutional law.
