BEYOND THE WATER COOLER: SPEECH AND THE WORKPLACE IN AN ERA OF SOCIAL MEDIA
Ann C. McGinley & Ryan McGinley-Stempel
Few would dispute the proposition that free speech and association play an important role in the operation of a healthy democracy. Private workplaces, however, are an important exception. Even though as a nation we profess to honor free speech as one of our most important values, in the employment context, the law often willingly restricts employee speech in favor of the employer’s interests in efficient management. When civil society was clearly distinct from the workplace, this was less problematic. …

Ann McGinley
This article analyzes the application of employment discrimination law to sexual minorities – lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and intersex individuals. It evaluates Title VII and state anti-discrimination laws’ treatment of these individuals, and is the first article to use masculinities research, theoretical and empirical, to explain employment discrimination against sexual minorities.While the article concludes that new legislation would further the interests of sexual minorities, it posits that it is neither necessary nor sufficient to solving the employment discrimination problems of sexual minorities. A major problem lies in the courts’ binary view of sex and gender, a view that identifies men …
