"The legal status of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender people...in American workplaces has undergone a partial revolution over the past half century: a revolution because that status has been significantly transformed, but only a partial one because in many parts of the country, there remains no statutory legal redress for overt discrimination against sexual minorities in the private sector workplace. In addition, the enforcement of nondiscrimination guarantees remains uneven." (HUMAN RIGHTS JOURNAL) The author examines sexual discrimination in the workplace and suggests that "although most sexual minority employees may have some kind of legal protection against discrimination...finding the appropriate legal theories and the venues in which to pursue them can require truly resourceful lawyering in those places where direct, express statutory protection is lacking."
