The Rights of Lesbians, Gay Men, Bisexuals, and Transgender People by Nan D. Hunter; Courtney G. Joslin; Sharon M. McGowan

This fully revised survey covers the rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people under current law, including freedom of speech and association, employment, housing, the military, family and parenting, and HIV. Using a question-and-answer format and nontechnical language, it explains general themes in legal doctrine and how individuals can begin to assert their rights. The book is a starting point for people facing discrimination or legal uncertainty. This edition adds appendixes listing national and regional LGBT legal groups, an overview of the legal system and its terms, and a state-by-state summary of the law.
