note = {Despite formal equality gains such as LGBTQ workplace protections
(Bostock v. Clayton County 2020), heteronormative cultural orders
still permeate queer rights discourse. Laura Borchert engages with the
cultural-legal construction of sexual minorities in the US and
deconstructs naturalized assumptions about ›the Queer‹ in US law
and culture by conducting interdisciplinary wide readings of legal
texts. She makes a strong case for utilizing suspect classification to
secure queer rights and offers the first distinctively cultural
studies perspective on equal protection and sexual orientation by
using a queer hermeneutics of law.},
