“…Successful Title VII claims involving sexual orientation discrimination or same-sex harassment have argued gender rather than sexual orientation discrimination (e.g., Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, 1989). DeSantis v. Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. (1979 stated that "Title VII should not be judicially extended to include sexual preference such as homosexuality" (Capers, 1991). Since 1994, Congress has failed to pass federal legislation to prohibit sexual orientation discrimination; courts cannot enforce nonexisting law.…”

The problem and the solution . Lesbian and gay (LG) employees experience work—life challenges due to exclusionary language and social norms that ignore the existence of their families; denial of medical, retirement, and leave benefits; and sexual orientation discrimination that can raise legitimate fears about job loss and family survival.A supportive and inclusive work culture is needed for employers to build loyalty, increase retention, and enable employees to perform at their peak.This article examines work—life benefits at 10 public universities.Work—life benefits are often taken for granted by the vast majority of employees within an organization because the inequitable application of these benefits across all kinds of employees remains invisible.Thus,work—life benefits inequitably applied have the potential to significantly damage the performance, psyche, financial status, and well-being of LG employees and their families. Recommendations for changes in organizational practices, policies, and language are provided.

“…5 As Stuart Hall notes, "the disruption of the normal functioning of the old economic, social, and cultural order, provides the opportunity to reorganize it in new ways, to restructure and refashion, to modernize and move ahead." 6 In this spirit, we shall focus on exploring the ways in which technology could have a positive impact in democratizing legal knowledge and power, while acknowledging that, as Bonilla points out, a powerful negative potential exists in terms of inferior education and increased inequality. For purposes of this article, we do not address other issues that Bonilla raises, including whether "law schools must innovate in technical matters to meet the expectations and needs of the new generations of law students" or whether "this aim should be achieved to meet the expectations and needs of law firms."…”

La transformación tecnológica presente de la educación jurídica, incluidos los modos de instrucción basados en computadores, interactivos y en línea, representa “una de las revoluciones tecnológicas más dramáticas de la historia, si no la más dramática”. A medida que la revolución tecnológica basada en la Inteligencia Artificial se aceleró drásticamente en la década de 1990, muchos comentaristas respondieron a la “expansión comercial de Internet” con una fe utópica en su potencial para igualar y democratizar el conocimiento y el poder. Esta fe dio paso a una segunda ola de comentarios que criticaban los “daños… a grupos históricamente subordinados”, la amenaza de “desinformación” y la polarización de la democracia, la consolidación del poder en Big Tech y en gobiernos autoritarios, y la amenaza a la privacidad en general. Los comentaristas de hoy enfrentan el desafío de determinar si y cómo responder a estos daños y, al mismo tiempo, darse cuenta de los beneficios potenciales de la tecnología impulsada por la IA, especialmente por el impacto y el uso de la tecnología durante la experimentación forzada que ocurrió durante la pandemia de COVD-19. Al evaluar el impacto potencial de la tecnología en la educación jurídica, este documento se enfoca principalmente en la educación jurídica en Estados Unidos, aunque incluiremos algunas ideas comparativas. En la Parte I, situaremos la promesa y el peligro de la tecnología en contexto: cómo funciona la educación jurídica actualmente para mantener la jerarquía y la desigualdad. La Parte II examinará hasta qué punto la educación jurídica en línea está democratizando realmente la educación jurídica. La Parte III explorará el potencial de la tecnología para mejorar la educación jurídica, incluyendo la democratización del conocimiento y del poder jurídicos.

On Good Friday of 1973, members of San Francisco's homosexual community staged a public demonstration amidst the skyscrapers in the business district. 1 Shen Hayes, described as a "frail nineteen-year-old," claimed to embody the suffering of the city's gay population. Hayes dragged a telephone pole "cross" on his back while throngs of protesters cheered and chanted. The local minister leading the action likened gays' lack of rights to murder, and the caption accompanying Hayes' photo in the newspaper claimed that he and other gay Californians had been
