Product Description
This updated edition continues the casebook's tradition of weaving historical, sociological, and literary perspectives into the legal material. The edition includes a new chapter on equality, which places sexual orientation in the broader context of constitutional claims of discrimination. It also provides up-to-date and expanded treatment of the marriage debate, Lawrence v. Texas, and many other contemporary controversies. Finally, this edition adds coverage of gender identity issues that allows for the exploration of the differences and similarities between sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination.

An okay update, a little more legal now..... September 7, 2002
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Books for law students get updated at least every five years or so. This book is an update of his first book, this time including "Romer v. Evans" and the St. Patrick's Day cases. When the first edition came out, it was revolutionary. Now, Eskridge, Hunter and many others have published gay legal texts. This new edition still has classic non-legal writings from gay studies. So it's still not just a legal text, but an anthology. It has useful facts in it. Basically, I'm not blown away by this book, but it would be a good thing for gays, both inside and out of the law, to own.
