He closely examines five cases, ranging from harassment and discrimination to family and marriage, and their impact on the LGBT community and society as large. Instead of a regurgitation of the court decisions, the author explores the back stories of the cases, providing a human connection to the parties named in the lawsuits. Furthermore, the narratives include the brave people that defended these cases as well.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, the chapter on harassment contains the case of <em>Nabozny v Podlesny<\/em>, which takes place right here in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Closet to the Courtroom: Five LGBT Rights Lawsuits That Have Changed Our Nation by Carlos Ball KF4754.5 .A53 B35 2010 New Book Island, 2nd floor Given that last week&#8217;s landmark decision made in California, I thought that this &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/archives\/5279\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[178,1101,272,3019,185],"class_list":["post-5279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-stuff-tuesdays","tag-books","tag-civil-rights","tag-law","tag-lgbt","tag-new-stuff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5279"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5285,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5279\/revisions\/5285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
