  • Thematic Review: American Gay Rights Movement Directions and Obje
    Name:_____________________________________ Class Period:______ Thematic Review: American Gay Rights Movement Although the topic of homosexuality continues to ignite passionate debate and is often omitted from history discussions due to the sensitivity of the topic, it is important to consider gays and lesbians when defining and analyzing modern American identity. The purpose of this activity is to review the struggle for respect, dignity, and equal protection under the law that so many have fought for throughout American history. Racial minorities… from slaves fighting for freedom to immigrants battling for opportunity… to modern-day racial and ethnic minorities working to overcome previous and current inequities in the American system. Women… fighting for property rights, education, suffrage, divorce, and birth control. Non- Protestants… from Catholics, Mormons, and Jews battling discrimination to modern day Muslims and others seeking peaceful co-existence in this “land of the free.” Where do gays and lesbians fit in? Once marginalized as criminals and/or mentally ill, they are increasingly being included in the “fabric” we call America. From the Period 8 Content Outline: Stirred by a growing awareness of inequalities in American society and by the African American civil rights movement, activists also addressed issues of identity and social justice, such as gender/sexuality and ethnicity. Activists began to question society’s assumptions about gender and to call for social and economic equality for women and for gays and lesbians. Directions and Objectives: Review the events in the Gay Rights Thematic Review Timeline, analyze changes in American identity, and make connections to other historically significant events occurring along the way.

CRUMPTON: HOW THE WASHINGTON STATE SUPREME COURT IMPROVED ACCESS TO JUSTICE IN POST-CONVICTION DNA TESTING Jordan McCrite* Abstract: Post-conviction DNA testing is a valuable tool for ensuring innocent people are not wrongfully incarcerated. Society has strong interests in confirming that available, yet previously untested, DNA evidence matches the person convicted. Access to post-conviction DNA testing, however, has been limited to maintain finality and avoid an over-burdened court system. This Note examines post-conviction DNA testing in Washington State, particularly after the 2014 Washington State Supreme Court decision, State v. Crumpton. In Crumpton, a majority of the Court—over a strongly worded dissent—read a favorable presumption into Washington’s post-conviction DNA testing statute.

In Alabama, a legislator introduced a bill that would have banished any mention of homosexuality from all public libraries-even at the university level.' In Virginia, the legislature's enthusiasm for joining the chorus of states that have amended their constitutions to ban gay marriage was eclipsed by a legislator's suggestion that the state's license plates be pressed into service as political slogans, and made to read: "Traditional Marriage.

In the Court's Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, "there is a tendency ... to pretend that the world we all know is not the world in which law enforcement operates."'2 This is a "raceless world... a constructed reality in which most police officers do not act on the basis of considerations of race, the facts underlying a search or seizure can be evaluated without examining the influence of race, and the applicable constitutional mandate is wholly unconcerned with race." 3 It is a world in which abuse of power by law * Professor of Law, University of Miami School of Law.

Transformative Events in the LGBTQ Rights Movement Ellen Ann Andersen* ABSTRACT Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court case holding that same-sex couples had a constitutional right to marry under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, was widely hailed in the media as a turning point for the LGBTQ rights movement. In this article, I contemplate the meaning of turning points. Social movement scholars have shown that specific events can, on rare occasion, alter the subsequent trajectory of a social movement. Such events have been termed ‘transformative events.’ I ask whether judicial decisions have the capacity to be transformative events and, if so, under what circumstances. I begin by developing a set of criteria for identifying a transformative event which I then apply to a handful of judicial decisions that, like Obergefell, have been described widely as turning points and/or watersheds in the struggle for LGBTQ rights.

As part of the original criminal investigation, a medical examination was performed on the victim and bodily fluids from the rapist were collected for forensic analysis in a "rape kit."

  • Community in Conflict: Same-Sex Marriage and Backlash Reva B
    Community in Conflict: Same-Sex Marriage and Backlash EVIEW r Reva B. Siegel ABStract CLA LAW CLA LAW u Did backlash to judicial decisions play a destructive role in debates over same-sex marriage, as was so often claimed? This Article questions assumptions about consensus and constitutionalism that undergird claims about judicial backlash, and explores some constructive functions of conflict in our constitutional order. The debate over same-sex marriage illustrates that conflict, constrained by constitutional culture, can forge meanings and bonds that strengthen the constitutional order. Constitutional culture, on this account, includes the understandings about role that guide interactions among citizens and officials who disagree about the Constitution’s meaning. Analyzing the long-running conflict over same-sex marriage with attention to these role-based understandings leads us differently to evaluate the power and limits of judicial review. In this Article I argue that the backlash narrative and the consensus model of constitutionalism on which it rests simultaneously underestimate and overestimate the power of judicial review. The Court’s decision inObergefell was possible not simply because public opinion changed, but also because struggle over the courts helped change public opinion and forge new constitutional understandings. Even so, Obergefell has not ended debate over marriage, but instead has channeled it into new forms. Conflict of this kind is enabled, and constrained, by the role-based understandings of constitutional culture. A conclusion invokes anxieties attending the election of Donald Trump to illustrate how critical the perpetually contested role constraints of constitutional culture are in sustaining our constitutional order.

  • Issues Surrounding Postconviction DNA Evidence and the Pursuit of Innocence
    "And the DNA Shall Set You Free": Issues Surrounding Postconviction DNA Evidence and the Pursuit of Innocence KAREN CHRISTIAN* Exonerationsof incarcerated defendants-even defendants on death row--through the use of DNA testing has pushed the issues surroundingpostconviction DNA testing to theforefront. During the last ten years, DNA testing has become more sophisticatedand accurateso that it has the scientific potential to conclusively prove whether a defendant's DNA matches DNA evidencefound at a crime scene. Forthis reason, many defendants have requestedpostconviction testing in order to appealtheir criminalconvictions. These requests, however, have sometimes been refused by prosecutorsand courts who cite the importance offinality in criminal jurisprudence, the burden on the judiciary when reopening cases, and the evidentiary weight of DNA as reasons why the requests should be refused. The resistanceof the judiciary andprosecutors is compounded by thefact that only a small minority ofstates have statutes thatpermit incarcerateddefendants to request and receive access to postconviction DNA testing. Federallegislation has been proposedto remedy this issue and a small minority ofstates have adopted language to permit this testing,provided that certain requirements are met. The author contends that an adhoc, case-by-case approachto postconviction testingrequests must be abandonedinfavor ofstatutesthat allow defendants to requestthis testing and receive a hearingif the results arefavorable. The interests offinality, while important,should not bepermittedto trump DNA evidence which can conclusively prove identity. * This article is dedicated to my parents, Mike and Sandi Christian, for their constant support and encouragement. I would like to thank Professor Sharon Davies and Professor Lou Jacobs for their ideas and suggestions as I worked on this article.
