Klappentext zu „Suspect Subjects “
Despite formal equality gains such as LGBTQ workplace protections (Bostock v. Clayton County 2020), heteronormative cultural orders still permeate queer rights discourse. Laura Borchert engages with the cultural-legal construction of sexual minorities in the US and deconstructs naturalized assumptions about >the Queer< in US law and culture and central constitutional-cultural imaginaries by conducting interdisciplinary wide readings of legal texts. They make a strong case for utilizing suspect classification to secure queer rights and offer the first distinctively cultural studies perspective on equal protection and sexual orientation by using a queer hermeneutics of law.
