In the end, the broader normative point is that equal recognition and social integration depends on making room for the possibility of ordinary, unremarkable participation in public life that doesn’t treat every instance of queer visibility as a political statement. (11/

Hi all! Hopping back here to share a 🧵 about my JMP, forthcoming in @YaleLJournal (and now on SSRN). What meaning is conveyed by public expressions of queer identity? That factual question is surprisingly central to a substantial body of LGBTQ-rights jurisprudence. (1/

Learned that 2 weeks ago, a district court, upholding the law at issue in Rahimi, cited the @YaleLJournal piece for this exact proposition: scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…

Bruen's history-and-tradition method encourages supporters of regulation to boast these repugnant histories to lend authority to their claims. What an impoverished form of legal justification... totally indifferent to the present-day interests of dom violence victims
