520 The author describes five lawsuits that have helped change
the way lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual (LGBT)
people are treated in the United States. The cases are
Braschi v. Stahl Associates, in which an appellate court
recognize that two men can constitute a family; Nabozny v.
Podlesny (1996), in which a Wisconsin jury recognized that
a bullied gay teenager had had his constitutional rights
violated by school officials who looked the other way;
Rome v. Evans, in which the U.S. Supreme Court held that
it is unconstitutional to deny LGBT people the opportunity
to seek antidiscrimination protection under the law; Baehr
v. Lewin (1993), in which the Hawaii Supreme Court
questioned the constitutionality of denying same-sex
couples the right to marry; and Lawrence v. Texas (2003),
in which the U.S. Supreme Court held that the government
cannot criminalize private and consensual gay sex. For
each case, he offers a description of the facts involved,
a discussion of the legal issues involved and how they
were dealt with in the litigation, and an analysis of the
legal and social impact of the case.
