Can a baker refuse to make a wedding cake for a gay couple? Despite
the U.S. Supreme Court decision guaranteeing marriage equality in
2015, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ)
citizens in the United States continue to be discriminated against
in fundamental areas that others take for granted as a legal right.
Using social equity theory and intersectionality but written in an
accessible style, this book demonstrates some of the ways in which
LGBTQ citizens have been marginalized for their identity and argues
that the field of public administration has a unique responsibility
to prioritize social equity. Categories utilized by the U.S. Census
Bureau (male or female, heterosexual or homosexual), for example,
must shift to a continuum to accurately capture demographic
characteristics and citizen behavior. Evidenced-based outcomes and
disparities between cisgender and heterosexual and LGBTQ
populations are carefully delineated to provide a legal rationale
for a compelling governmental interest, and policy recommendations
are provided - including overdue federal legislation to prohibit
discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
