Identity and the Case for Gay Rights

Examines the link between gay rights and three successful civil rights movements, black civil rights, feminism, and religious toleration, and explains how those three movements can serve as an example for the gay civil rights movement.

First sentence: The struggle for racial justice plays a central role in American interpretive understanding of the Reconstruction Amendments both as their background in the antebellum abolitionist movement and in the successful African American struggle, after their ratification, to rectify the crudely racist interpretation they had irresponsibly been given by the judiciary.
