Abstract

Adler, Libby, Gay Priori: A Queer Critical Legal Studies Approach to Law Reform, Duke University Press: Durham, NC and London, 2018; 271 pp.: ISBN 978-0-8223-7149-6 (pbk), ISBN 978-0-8223-7118-2 (hbk) Libby Adler's beautifully written book jumps off from a sense that America's leading LGBTQ advocacy organizations have "distorted priorities" (p. 2). On Adler's account, LGBTQ equal rights discourse has "stifle[d] our own imaginations" (p. 4), "mak[ing] some ideas seem natural and others inconceivable" (p. 6). [Extracted from the article]
