An in-depth examination of the relationship between gay rights,
public opinion, and legislation since the late 1800s. In this
comprehensive overview of how the American legal system has
approached issues pertaining to sexual orientation and how the law
has advanced-or hindered-civil rights, author Lee Walzer reveals
that while the United States has the world's most developed lesbian
and gay community, it lags other countries on equality for sexual
minorities. Gay Rights on Trial focuses on four significant cases
that have shaped the development of gay rights, including detailed
discussion of majority and dissenting decisions and analysis of
their legacy and impact. Also included are a chronology; a section
of key people, laws, and concepts; a table of cases; key legal
documents such as the Defense of Marriage Act and the Vermont Civil
Union Act; and an annotated bibliography. Introductory essay covers
issues from the changing notions of morality and the law to the
various sides in gay rights disputes Contains edited excerpts of
key legal documents such as Bowers v. Hardwick (1986), in which the
Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of state laws
prohibiting homosexual conduct
