Lock the Closet Door: Does Private Mean Secret?
- Authors
McBride, Whitney Kirsten
- Abstract
The article presents information on right to privacy in the U.S. It includes information on a brief history of the tort of public disclosure of private facts. It discusses the constitutional right to privacy in the U.S., and asserts that sexual orientation is an inherently private fact. It includes information on the jurisdictional approaches regarding what constitutes a private fact and discusses the First Amendment implications of limiting the publication rights of newspapers. It provides an analysis on how courts should interpret private fact by pointing to other bodies of law, including the doctrine of limited privacy as applied in other privacy torts and the European Union's (EU) privacy protections.
