Reviews for The Gay Rights Question in Contemporary American Law
"The Gay Rights Question challenges American law to treat gay people the same as heterosexuals - and does so straight out of existing constitutional doctrine. Koppelman's arguments cannot be ignored by any official or person who must consider gay rights claims." - William N. Eskridge Jr., Yale Law School
