samenvatting: The U.S. is one of the few countries that does not protect against employment discrimination based on sexual orientation at the national level. It is only recently that the U.S. has begun to extend full protection at the national level against employment discrimination based on gender identity. While this issue has been debated in the U.S., as in other developed countries, since the rise of second wave feminism and the gay liberation movement, the policy debate at the national level has taken off since 2007 as the U.S. has repeatedly failed to pass the federal Employment Non Discrimination Act (ENDA). Recent U.S. policy discourse on employment discrimination for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGTBQ) communities has focussed specifically on the relationship between sexual orientation and gender identity. Gender identity itself and the protection of trans people from employment discrimination has been highly politicized in the U.S. debate around employment protection for lesbians, bisexuals and gay men. This paper explores the legal and policy debates over discrimination protection. Drawing on historical institutionalist theory, I argue that strong courts, federalism, and the separation of powers have not only influenced policy outcomes in this area but, more importantly, the ways in which the issues have been discussed and debated. Court rulings have played an important role in influencing legal and political understandings and definitions of key concepts such as gender, gender identity and sexual orientation. These concepts are reinforced in LGBT communities as well as by LGBT legal elites and NGOS; however, their particular evolution cannot be understood without reference to the institutional and legal structure of American institutions. Federalism has divided authority over the issue of employment discrimination, producing policy change in some states and localities and not others.

'Having to use English others us' : South African terminologies of sexual and gender diversity  / Ingrid Lynch, Finn Reygan and Molemo Ramphalile.

samenvatting: The linguistic coding of sexual and gender diversity remains highly contested in African contexts. While English language terminologies reflecting rights-based talk proliferate, such terms fail to fully reflect the lived realities of African queerness. This paper engages existing South African research on indigenous terminologies to describe sexual and gender diversity, focusing on representations of male same-sex sexualities. Our findings show that local terminologies serve not only to 'other' sexual and gender diversity, but also hold the potential to render those existing outside of normative sex/gender binaries as socially intelligible. Two core themes emerged: (i) the persistence of heterogendered subjectivities, where sexual dissidence is mapped onto a normative male/female binary; and (ii) a procreative imperative focused on communitarian norms that privilege heterosexual childbearing. The findings highlight the limitations of global terminologies of sexual and gender diversity by engaging the ways in which local African terminologies provide social recognition for same-sex sexualities in generally heteronormative community spaces. We discuss the implications of this gendered encoding of sexual dissidence in terms of advocacy strategies for the greater social inclusion of sexual and gender minorities.
