Professor Stein: Immigration is a Queer Issue: From Fleuti to Trump

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PRESS -- “Earlier this month, after a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s motion to stay a temporary restraining order for Executive Order 13769, a number of observers noticed that the ruling cited a major gay rights case as an important precedent. The case was Rosenberg v. Fleuti, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963.”

Stein is the Jamie and Phyllis Pasker Professor of History at San Francisco State University.
