MacKinnon's Sex Equality: Lesbian and Gay Rights

This law school casebook explores the argument that gay and lesbian rights are sex equality rights, with wide-ranging materials from theory, movements, and case law. Issues of language, history, culture, as well as choice of doctrine of privacy, sexual orientation discrimination, and various approaches to sex equality are presented. The first half of the book examines conventional sex equality law and theory. The second half extends the analysis onto social terrain not generally recognized by law as posing sex discrimination questions.
