  1. South Africa's path to marriage equality

    I can't say, of course, how the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on the same-sex marriage cases before it. But I can talk about how South African courts grappled with the issue in 2005, after a case was brought by a lesbian couple who had been denied the right to marry. As a justice on the Constitutional Court at the time, I was asked to write the judgment in that case, which led to South Africa's becoming the fifth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage.

  5. When anti-gay bullying and free speech collide

    As Congress revisits <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> federal education policy, gay rights activists are pressing for the enactment of the Student Non-Discrimination Act of 2013, which would prohibit harassment of students in public schools &ldquo;on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.&rdquo; Laws already on the books prohibit discrimination in public schools on the basis of race, color, national origin and gender.
