DIAZ V. BREWER AND THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE: A ROAD MAP FOR THE RETENTION OF SAME-SEX PUBLIC EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.
- Authors
Probber, Benjamin K.
- Abstract
The author discusses issues concerning the equal protection clause in the U.S., highlighting the concept of same-sex public employee benefits in the country. He mentions that most states in the country have statues or constitutional provisions that prevent same-sex couples from marrying under state law. He also mentions the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which was passed partly in response to efforts at legalizing same-sex marriage in the country.
