This course will explore legal doctrines specifically affecting the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The law is currently in flux and varies considerably from state to state, with regards to such issues as employment discrimination, relationship recognition, parenting, and determination of legal gender. We will cover these topics with a particular focus on constitutional doctrines, including equal protection and due process/privacy. Transgender legal issues will be integrated throughout the course. Course readings will include cases, legal theory, news articles, and activist writing, and we will examine current ��������hot�������� topics with an eye to understanding how the law developed, what choices activists and attorneys made in shaping legal arguments, and how future developments in the law will affect the lives of real people (LGBT and otherwise).
