Collegiality And Individual Dignity, Tobias Barrington Wolff
Collegiality And Individual Dignity, Tobias Barrington Wolff
All Faculty Scholarship
This Essay identifies and describes the tension between the norms of collegiality and basic principles of individual dignity that LGBT scholars and lawyers encounter when confronted with the dehumanizing arguments that are regularly advanced by opponents of equal treatment under law for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. It is a transcript of remarks delivered at a March 2012 symposium on the Defense of Marriage Act at Fordham Law School, with minimal edits for publication.
Equal Protection, Same-Sex Marriage, And Classifying On The Basis Of Sex, Mark Strasser
Equal Protection, Same-Sex Marriage, And Classifying On The Basis Of Sex, Mark Strasser
Pepperdine Law Review
This article reviews several state court analyses of whether same-sex marriage bans violate the equal protection guarantees afforded by the respective state constitutions. The article discusses the lack of uniformity not only with respect to the result but with respect to the kind of classification that is implicated in such bans. The article concludes that unless the Supreme Court corrects some of the misunderstandings regarding the proper application of equal protection guarantees, that jurisprudence will either become even more confused or, perhaps, will coalesce around a doctrine that has been rejected for almost half a century.
