À propos des auteurs

William N. Eskridge, Jr, is the John A. Garver Professor of Jurisprudence at Yale Law School, Connecticut. A renowned scholar of statutory interpretation and legislation, in 1990–95, Professor Eskridge represented a gay couple suing for recognition of their same-sex marriage. He has published a field-establishing casebook, three monographs, and dozens of articles articulating a legal and political framework for proper state treatment of sexual and gender minorities. Historical materials in Gaylaw formed the basis for an amicus brief filed by Cato Institute and much of the US Supreme Court's (and the dissenting opinion's) analysis in Lawrence v. Texas (2003), invalidating consensual sodomy laws.

Robin Fretwell Wilson is the Roger and Stephany Joslin Professor of Law at the University of Illinois College of Law, Chicago. Professor Wilson assisted the Utah legislature as it enacted landmark legislation balancing religious freedom and LGBT non-discrimination protections. She founded and directs the Fairness for All Initiative which provides tangible support to legislators seeking to enact laws protecting both communities. A member of the American Law Institute, she is the author, co-author, or editor of eleven books, including Same-Sex Marriage and Religious Liberty (2008) and The Contested Place of Religion in Family Law (Cambridge, 2018). In 2018, she received the Thomas L. Kane Religious Freedom Award.
