This review is from: The Rights of Lesbians and Gay Men, Third Edition: The Basic ACLU Guide to a Gay Person's Rights (ACLU Handbook) (Paperback)
In the post Romer vs. Evans era (1996) this book is out-dated. The authors are experts in their fields. But the material needs up-dating. The ACLU is highly respectable as defenders of gay rights.
