This course will explore legal doctrines specifically affecting the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people. The law is currently in flux and varies considerably from state to state, with regards to such issues as employment and public accommodation discrimination, relationship recognition, parenting, youth rights 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 (LGBTI and otherwise). Constitutional Law is recommended, but not required.
Anne Tamar-Mattis was the founder of interACT, a nonprofit that advocates for the civil and human rights of children born with intersex traits, and has been an activist in LGBTI communities for over 30 years. She is currently the Executive Director of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.
