  • Other Indicia of Animus Against LGBT People by State and Local
    Chapter 14: Other Indicia of Animus Against LGBT People by State and Local Officials, 1980-Present In this chapter, we draw from the 50 state reports to provide a sample of comments made by state legislators, governors, judges, and other state and local policy makers and officials which show animus toward LGBT people. Such statements likely both deter LGBT people from seeking state and local government employment and cause them to be closeted if they are employed by public agencies. In addition, these statements often serve as indicia of why laws extending legal protections to LGBT people are opposed or repealed. As the United States Supreme Court has recognized, irrational discrimination is often signaled by indicators of bias, and bias is unacceptable as a substitute for legitimate governmental interests.1 “[N]egative attitudes or fear, unsubstantiated by factors which are properly cognizable…are not permissible bases” for governmental decision-making.2 This concern has special applicability to widespread and persistent negative attitudes toward gay and transgender minorities. As Justice O‟Connor stated in her concurring opinion in Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558, 580-82 (2003): We have consistently held…that some objectives, such as “a bare...desire to harm a politically unpopular group,” are not legitimate state interests. … Moral disapproval of this group [homosexuals], like a bare desire to harm the group, is an interest that is insufficient to satisfy rational basis review under the Equal Protection Clause. 1 Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama v. Garrett, 531 U.S. 356, 367 (2001). 2 Id. (quoting Cleburne v Cleburne Living Center, 473 U.S.

  • DOCUMENTING QUEER VOICES in the SOUTH by Ashley D. Cole A
    “I WANTED TO BE JUST WHAT I WAS:” DOCUMENTING QUEER VOICES IN THE SOUTH by Ashley D. Cole A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Public History Middle Tennessee State University December 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Kelly Kolar, Chair Dr. Pippa Holloway ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Kelly Kolar for her guidance and patience with me during my extended stay in the Public History program at MTSU. Dr. Kolar has continuously offered support and encouragement throughout my thesis writing process. She has been dedicated to the completion of this thesis, even when I was not. Dr. Pippa Holloway has also been an invaluable resource for developing my historiographical background for this thesis. Completion of this program would not have been possible without the love, support, and encouragement of my parents, Valorie and Curt Cole. I am so grateful to them for continuously helping me in my educational endeavors (and throughout my life in general). Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Rachel Rogers, for reading drafts even when she would rather not, for being my constant cheerleader, and for providing me with the stability and support to pursue my academic career. Rachel has been a source of inspiration for this thesis in that she lives authentically and lets her queer Southern voice be heard, even when met with resistance and rejection from those whom she loves. ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores themes in queer history and the concept of archival activism to argue for development of LGBT archival collections in the South that adequately reflect the region.

  • 1 Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc. and Equality
    Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc. and Equality Mississippi hereby file this ethics complaint against George County Justice Court Judge Connie Glenn Wilkerson. Lambda Legal is an organization that currently represents lesbian parents and other litigants before Mississippi judges, and that will continue to represent lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) clients in Mississippi courts. Equality Mississippi is an organization dedicated to working to advance the cause of full equality and civil rights for all members of the Mississippi LGBT community. Judge Wilkerson has violated his ethical duties as set forth in Canons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 of the Mississippi Code of Judicial Conduct by two separate actions. First, Judge Wilkerson wrote a letter to the editor of the George County Times, published March 28, 2002, in which he publicly stated that gay and lesbian people belong in mental institutions, advocated a position against legislation that advances civil rights for lesbian and gay people, and further stated that those elected officials who support such legislation and citizens who vote for said officials “have to stand in the judgment of GOD.” Second, on April 9, 2002, Judge Wilkerson stated, in an interview with Mississippi Public Radio, that gay and lesbian people are “sick.” The full text of Judge Wilkerson’s letter to the editor reads: Dear Editor: I got sick on my stomach today as I read the (AP) news story on the Dog attack on the front page of THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS and had to respond! AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE! I never thought that we would see the day when such would be here in AMERICA.

RACE REVIEW IN A NATION SEEKING EQUALITY Greyson Breal* I. INTRODUCTION In modern America, race relations continue to play a significant role in national news and the enforcement of the laws. Equality is oftentimes a game of multifaceted tug of war in which there is constantly a struggle for the rights of differing races, ethnicities, and genders. The foundation of knowledge and success in America is its educational system. At the forefront of the educational system are the admissions policies for each academic institution, which include the basis for the types of students desired by each institution. Several factors are weighed in admission processes, including academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, and racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. In Fisher v. University of Texas, the United States Supreme Court determined that the University of Texas (“the

    © 2010 Jorja Jamison PSYCHOMETRIC VALIDATION OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL DISCLOSURE TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS SCALE (MD-HCPS) BY JORJA JAMISON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Psychology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Lydia P. Buki, Chair Associate Professor Ramona F. Oswald Professor Dale E. Brashers Professor Hua Hua Chang Abstract A substantial body of research has identified many health disparities in the gay and lesbian populations, along with a myriad of physical, social, and institutional factors that influence these disparities. The sexual orientation disclosure interaction is a critical component of the health care visit for lesbians and gay men that may significantly explain and predict engagement in the system, and ultimately, may contribute to these health disparities. However, the construct of disclosure has been poorly defined and measured by health care researchers. The purpose of this study was to further develop the preliminary Multidimensional Disclosure to Health Care Providers Scale (MD-HCPS) to assess gay men and women’s experiences disclosing sexual orientation to health care providers. Data were gathered from 667 participants across the U.S. using online survey methodology. Based on item analyses and exploratory factor analyses, the number of items was reduced from 119 to 62 in five subscales. Further, twelve factors were identified within the five subscales (Disclosure Attitudes and Beliefs, Initiation of Disclosure, Disclosure Communication, Positive Acknowledgment of Disclosure, and Negative Acknowledgment of Disclosure). Results also provided empirical evidence for the theoretical model on which the scale is based.
