Description
"This book describes the substantive state of the law with regard to lesbian and gay rights. It begins with some background information to put the modern fight for lesbian and gay rights in its proper historical context, then categorizes lesbian and gay rights claims into three areas - individual rights in private contexts, individual rights in public contexts, and couple or family rights thought of as private but pushing into the public sphere - that add up to a single principle: the right to be human in a modern society."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
The lesbian and gay civil rights movement has focused on two primary themes or arguments: (1) that gay people are similar to all other human beings and should be treated equally, and (2) that gay people are different in ways that the law ought to respect and protect.
