The enormous advances of the civil rights movement have made it
easier for LGBT youth to be "out," yet their increased visibility
has led to myriad legal issues involving such critical matters as
freedom of expression, sexual harassment, self-chosen medical care,
and even their right to privacy within their own families.
In this accessible guide, Lisa Keen illustrates how some laws limit
the rights of LGBT youth and others protect them. "Out Law" lays
out the basics about federal, state, and local laws that frequently
impact LGBT youth and explains how legal authority and
responsibility is often vested in local officials, such as school
principals.
Keen explains how laws treating LGBT people differently came to
exist, evolved over time, and are subject to significant changes
even today. "Out Law" discusses the shifting legal terrain for such
issues as when schools can censor messages on T-shirts or library
computer research into LGBT-related Web sites. It gives youth tips
on how to document efforts to curb their rights and where to turn
for help in protecting those rights.
