Fighting for marriage and family rights; protection from
discrimination in employment, education, and housing; criminal law
reform; economic justice; and health care reform: the LGBT movement
is engaged in some of the most important cultural and political
battles of our times. Seeking to reshape many of our basic social
institutions, the LBGT movement's legal, political, and cultural
campaigns reflect the complex visions, strategies, and rhetoric of
the individuals and groups knocking at the law's door. The original
essays in this volume bring social movement scholarship and legal
analysis together, enriching our understanding of social movements,
LGBT politics and organizing, legal studies, and public policy.
Moreover, they highlight the struggle to make the law relevant and
responsive to the LGBT community. Ultimately, Queer Mobilizations
examines how the LGBT movement's engagement with the law shapes the
very meanings of sexuality, sex, gender, privacy, discrimination,
and family in law and society. Contributors: Ellen Ann Andersen,

Goldberg-Hiller, Charles W. Gossett, Marybeth Herald, Nicholas
Pedriana, Darren Rosenblum, Susan M. Sterett, and Amy L. Stone.
