The Boundaries of Sex: When Desire Collides with Law
When the patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back against a police raid in 1969, they ignited what would become the modern gay rights movement. That same week, a federal appeals court ruled that a gay employee couldn't be fired solely for his "immoral conduct." These watershed moments marked dramatic shifts in how society and law approach human sexuality. While the physical acts of sex remain largely unchanged through history, our judgments about them exist in constant flux. The law's attempt to regulate our most intimate behaviors reveals fascinating contradictions about power, morality, and human nature that continue to shape our lives today.
