- Title
COVERING AND IDENTITY PERFORMANCE IN EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION LAW.
- Authors
VON BORSTEL, MEGAN
- Abstract
At a time when the law is transforming gay rights, the LGBTQ community finds itself at the climax of its latest civil rights challenge: federal employment non-discrimination protections. This Note addresses the federal circuit split regarding whether Title VII's prohibition against sex discrimination includes a prohibition on the basis of sexual orientation. By integrating the Seventh Circuit's analysis in Hively v. Ivy Tech Community College within the frameworks of intersectionality, identity performance, and queer theory, this Note evaluates how an evolving understanding of Title VII's protections affect members of the LGBTQ communities.
