The Homosexual(ity) of law (Paperback, New)

Raising fundamental questions about our understanding of the term "homosexuality," "The Homosexuality of Law" is an important and original contribution on the legal regulation of identity and sexuality, providing a theoretical underpinning for the study of the treatment of homosexuals by the law. Moran offers an understanding of the histories of the contemporary legal tradition and their current operation using specific examples, such as the impact of a court case over an alleged breach of the peace when two men kissed in public. The volume explores how legal discourse is constructed to place homosexuality in a very specific band of regulation and focuses on gay and civil rights, equality under the law and social attitudes towards homosexuals.
