About this course

The course explores legal and political issues affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in the United States. It focuses in particular on contests over the criminalization of same-sex activity; the enactment of legal protections for LGBTQ people and their families; the marriage equality movement; and contemporary debates over the scope of federal non-discrimination protections, transgender rights, and exemptions for those who object to LGBTQ equality on religious grounds. The course aims to give students a deeper appreciation of the constraints, opportunities, and strategic choices that have shaped the development of LGBTQ rights in law and policy, both historically and in the present day.
