WHEN SAYING GAY IS NO LONGER SUFFICIENT: RESPONSE TO MARIE-AMÉLIE GEORGE'S EXPANDING LGBT |
73 Florida Law Review Forum 21 (2023) |
In October of 2022, The New York Times published a provocative opinion piece that advocated for reclaiming the use of the word gay, which has fallen in favor of the term queer in media, academia, activism, and other circles. The article skillfully pointed out how queer and gay should not be conflated as they are not synonymous. However, the author,... |

47 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 1 (2023) |
Do Black Guns Matter? This Article considers what Justice Scalia's opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller tells us about how the law treats Black gun owners' rights.

ABOLITION AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS: TAIWAN'S AFFIRMATION OF BLACK AMERICAN ABOLITIONIST MOVEMENTS |
