WINDSOR AND THE FUTURE OF CIVIL UNIONS AND OTHER MARRIAGE ALTERNATIVES JOHN G. CULHANE* HE Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Windsor1 was a T victory for the LGBT rights movement and a vindication of basic principles of dignity and equality. The Court ruled that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman for purposes of federal law,2 betrayed the Constitution’s promise of liberty, as expressed through the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment.3 For Justice Kennedy, who authored the majority opinion, congressional zeal for excluding legitimately married same-sex couples from the federal benefits and responsibilities attendant to marriage could only be explained by animus toward these couples.4 For evidence of such animus, the Court looked no further than the many anti-gay statements that found their way into the Congressional Record and the House Report of DOMA.5 That Congress cut so deeply into the definition of marriage otherwise left to the individual states, just to exclude same-sex couples, was further proof of the true purpose behind DOMA.

  • The New Laws of the Indies for the Good Treatment and Preservation of the Indians(1542) King Charles V
    The New Laws of the Indies for the Good Treatment and Preservation of the Indians (1542) King Charles V King Charles V. 1971. The New Laws of the Indies for the Good Treatment and Preservation of the Indians. New York: AMS Press Inc. The Spanish arrival in the Americas arguably posed as many challenges for the Iberian monarchy and its peoples as it did for their New World counterparts. In a very short time span, Spain grew from a loose confederation of kingdoms into a global empire. Even as Christopher Columbus was embarking upon his epic voyage to the West, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were struggling to consolidate their power over the Iberian peninsula. The more than 700-year effort to repel the Moorish invasion from North Africa had just ended in 1492, and the monarchs faced considerable obstacles. On the one hand, they had to contend with the question of how to assimilate peoples that geography, culture, and religion (the Moors, for instance, were Muslims) long had distanced from one another. On the other hand, and in the absence of a clearly defined common enemy, they had to find a means of maintaining and strengthening their hold over the sizeable population of nobles (hidalgos) who earlier had offered them their loyalty in exchange for the possibilities of material gain. With the fighting over, the monarchs could no longer offer the longstanding incentives of land, honor, and treasure as a means of reigning in the nobility. Ferdinand and Isabella sat atop a veritable powder keg. Columbus's arrival in the New World drew Spain's internal conflicts and challenges into the global arena where distance made them even more problematic.

  • Radical Dissent, Feminist Survival: the Dialectics of Migration
    Kohl: a Journal for Body and Gender Research Vol. 3, No. 1 (Summer 2017) Radical Dissent, Feminist Survival: The Dialectics of Migration Roula Seghaier Kohl 3.1 2 Multiple local and regional events have informed the publication of this issue. We worked on it during “celebratory” times, when Beirut rejoiced on discourses of Pride, omitting pleas of women, migrants, and refugees, and when institutions commemorated World Refugee Day, stressing the humanitarian aspect of what they called a refugee “crisis.” Both events had powerful political and symbolic purposes. They served to reinforce the state’s grip on identitarian and national borders while legitimizing institutional discrimination against “others.” The naming of the migration the world is witnessing today as a “crisis” justifies the exceptional securitization measures Western host states are taking; overridden with the political spectacular, they emphasize the “unprecedented” nature of such forced migration. The omission of queer migrant voices from Beirut Pride purposefully displaced the focus from state authoritarianism to upper and middle class gay men’s “bread and circuses.” This issue was created from the dire need to reinvestigate, deconstruct, and gender migration as a phenomenon that is not modern, although complicated by the neoliberal age. While gender is no alien to migration, it is usually vulgarized through the rights approach, and stripped from all intersectionality by the liberal discourses on social mobility and economic opportunity acquisition for women of color. We wanted to trouble the gender-neutral, liberal, and/or quantitative depiction of the phenomenon. We aimed to expose the state-led media, pop culture, and NGO efforts that are complicit in the demonization of the migrants, essentialization of their cultures, and fetishization of their bodies.

  • Students' Perceptions of Lesbian and Gay Professors1
    Inventing a Gay Agenda: Students’ Perceptions of Lesbian and Gay Professors1 Kristin J. Anderson2 and Melinda Kanner University of Houston–Downtown Students’ perceptions of lesbian and gay professors were examined in 2 studies (Ns = 622 and 545). An ethnically diverse sample of undergraduates read and responded to a syllabus for a proposed Psychology of Human Sexuality course. Syllabuses varied according to the political ideology, carefulness, sexual orientation, and gender of the professor. Students rated professors on dimensions such as politi- cal bias, professional competence, and warmth. Lesbian and gay professors were rated as having a political agenda, compared to heterosexual professors with the same syllabus. Student responses differed according to their homonegativity and modern homonegativity scores. The findings from these studies suggest that students may use different criteria to evaluate lesbian, gay, and heterosexual professors’ ability to approach courses objectively.jasp_757 1538..1564 Psychology has a rich history of research on prejudice against people of color in the United States, with recent work concentrating on subtle forms of racism. The work on subtle prejudice against other marginalized groups, such as lesbians and gay men, has received less scholarly attention (Whitley & Kite, 2010). Likewise, the experiences, evaluations, and perceptions of women and people of color in the academy have been subjects of research, but again, fewer studies have examined experimentally students’ perceptions and judgments of lesbian and gay professors. The academic environment in general, and the classroom in particular, are important environments to study discrimination against lesbian and gay professors. For professors, academia is a workplace in which their livelihoods and careers can be threatened with discrimination by students through course evaluations and by supervisors’ performance evaluations.
