Susan Gluck Mezey's newest book, Gay Families and the Courts, is a
compelling examination of the role of the state and federal courts
in furthering the goals of the gay and lesbian community. Unlike
Mezey's earlier book, Queers in Court, this book evaluates the
extent to which litigation is effective in advancing equal rights
for gay families_families in which at least one member is gay_as
they seek to expand their opportunities and battle discrimination.
Mezey shows how the courts address gay and lesbian rights and
sexual orientation in schools and social organizations such as the
Boy Scouts along with family-oriented problems such as marriage and
parenthood. In doing so, Mezey emphasizes the complexity of the
issues involved in the cases, and assesses the degree to which the
outcome of the litigation is explained by the type of case, the
type of court, and the judge's perception of his or her role as a
policymaker. It is a valuable reference for scholars interested in
judicial, legislative, and executive policymaking at the federal
and state level as well as anyone interested in LGBT politics.
