To make a claim “gay and lesbian applicants must make cases that they belong to a social group of persecuted homosexuals in their country stating their status as a sexual minority” (Michael & Cherylp.1088), therefore it can be seen that judges have the discretion to decide who is applicable.

It follows that one of the LSUC’s objective is to remove discriminatory barriers in the legal profession which includes religious affiliation, race, and gender. Thus the Divisional Court concludes that the LSUC is entitled to consider the impact of LGBTQ community and its decision refusing to accredit TWU’s proposed law school was reasonable. This indicates that freedom of religion is not absolute and that the competing rights of other individuals or groups must always be taken into

Dana Zzyym Case Study

1211 Words | 5 Pages

This past October an intersex U.S. Navy veteran, Dana Zzyym, gained national attention after they were denied a passport. Zzyym identifies as neither male nor female, so they were denied the right to a passport after refusing to select a gender box on the application. After the denial Zzyym filed a federal discrimination lawsuit on the grounds that it is a constitutional violation to force an intersex person to select a gender box. Their argument is that gender, or lack of thereof, has nothing to do with travel, so why should it restrict or force people to declare a gender marker they do not identify as. Zzyym’s case finally brings to light how significant two little boxes can truly be, especially for those who live their lives outside

Dchr's Response To The 1970s

666 Words | 3 Pages

In the Victorian era, homosexual relationships were generally accepted as long as it did not interfere with the traditional marriage. In the 1960s, homosexuality was seen as a political choice in the 1960s, while also being criticized by the mainstream and radical feminists. In the 1990s, it was portrayed as a threat by the Republicans and defended by the Democrats, only to be slightly pushed back by Clinton’s decision to sign DOMA (Friend, 470). According to this perception, the perception of Homosexuality has become gradually more grim following the 1800s, and its progress forward from the 1960s and 1970s to earn civil rights has been difficult (Stansell 84, 91-92).
