Description: In its fourth edition, this fully revised and updated survey covers the rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender people under present law, specifically in regard to freedom of speech and association, employment, housing, the military, family and parenting, and HIV disease. Utilizing an accessible question-and-answer format and nontechnical language, The Rights of Lesbians, Gay Men, Bisexuals, and Transgender People provides an overview for understanding both the general themes in legal doctrine and the way in which individuals can begin the process of asserting rights provided by the law.

First published in 1975, the volume has evolved in structure and content over the past three decades in accordance with changes in the laws it describes. As legal problems related to discrimination in the realms of occupational licenses and security clearances have waned, other fields of law have expanded. For instance, this edition features separate chapters on public and private sector employment and on relationships and parenting, signaling not a larger number of problems but a demand for employment and family law to serve a growing and diversifying population. Likewise, the inclusion of legal issues regarding bisexuals and transgender people in this edition emphasizes the importance of recognizing specificity and difference within the gay community, particularly due to the strong link between sexual orientation and transgender issues.

Though not a substitute for legal counsel, The Rights of Lesbians, Gay Men, Bisexuals, and Transgender People is a useful starting point for people facing discrimination or legal uncertainty and helps readers navigate the turbulent and constantly changing waters of the laws regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. In setting forth LGBT rights law and suggesting how these rights can be protected and asserted, the volume is ultimately about the value of diversity and dissent. New to this edition are two appendixes that include contact information for national and regional LGBT legal groups, an overview of the legal system to explain some of the terms and concepts that appear throughout the book, and a summary of highlights of the law state by state.

Description: A primary and inalienable right and duty is an invitation to embrace this sacred task, which is owed in justice to the young. The teaching of the church is clear about the fundamental right and duty of parents in this matter. This document far surpasses anything that the church might have to say in helping you teach the child in the most prudent fashing according to the mind of the church. It is strongly recommended that all those concerned with the proper teaching of human sexuality to young people read the complete text of this document. The principle of decency must safeguard the virtue of Christian chastity. Therefore, in passing on sexual information in the context of education for love, the instruction must always be "positive and prudent" and "clear and delicate." These four words used by the Catholic Church exclude every form of unacceptable content in sexual education. [For example, (a) visual erotic material; (b) written or verbal erotic presentations; (c) obscene or coarse language; (d) indecent humor; (e) the denigrations of chastity; and (f) attempts to minimize the gravity of sin against this virtue.]

Description: The essays in this volume explore the psychological dimensions of lesbian, gay, and bisexual identities from puberty to adulthood. The essays focus upon three general areas: theoretical frameworks that are important in understanding the development of sexual orientation in adolescence, challenges faced by lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth, and issues related to interventions and services for LGB youths in community settings. Changes in biological processes, relationships, and community interactions influence the emergence of sexuality in all young people. The process is more complex and difficult for LGB teenagers. Fortunately, the cultural changes that have allowed LGB youths to become more open about themselves at earlier ages have also allowed social and behavioral scientists the opportunity to study them. This volume presents authoritative, research-based reviews of this ever-increasing area of study and social concern.
