Description

ABSTRACT In this Article I argue the U.S. Supreme Court should find lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons ("LGBTs") to be a politically powerless minority group and apply heightened scrutiny to statutes treating LGBTs differently as a result. This argument buttresses the already strong reasoning by which the Court should find LGBTs a suspect class and could perhaps serve as the tipping point in the Court's equal protection analysis.
