Queer at Work ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

While the Supreme Court has made marriage equality the law of the land, workplace equality lags far behind. Queer couples might be able to marry in 50 states, but in 28 states, said couples can be legally fired from their workplace due to their sexual orientation. Fighting for federal employment protection looks to be an even harder road than the fight for marriage. This study looks at the lives and struggles of LGBTQ people in their workplaces and unions, with an emphasis on historical and contemporary issues.
