[Number] 7828 - 1 [Semester] 11382013 Fall [Description] This course will examine how the law attempts to regulate sexual orientation and gender identity. We will explore how criminal law, family law, constitutional law, and anti-discrimination law each impact the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons. The course will begin with an interdisciplinary examination of sexuality from religious, psychological, sociological, and philosophical perspectives. Thereafter, video clips, religious and activist literature, fictional and non-fictional narratives, newspaper and magazine articles, and social scientific studies will add alternative perspectives to the cases we read. Legal topics will include the decriminalization of sodomy, the regulation of pro-gay and anti-gay speech, protections against discrimination in employment, rules governing the documentation of gender identity changes, prohibitions against same-sex marriage, and restrictions on gay and lesbian parenthood. Special attention will be devoted to Equality Utah’s Common Ground Initiative and the LDS Church’s role in the debate about Proposition 8 in California. All views are welcome. [Title]
