Yet some courts - including the U.S. Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of India, and the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal - have continued to progressively realize the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons. How can the seeming paradox of LGBTQ+ rights advancement amid liberal constitutional regression be understood? And what, in turn, does that tell us about the state of liberal constitutionalism and rights adjudication? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eCourts and LGBTQ+ Rights in an Age of Judicial Retrenchment\u003c\/em\u003e addresses these questions by exploring rights adjudication within the broader context of declining liberal constitutionalism within the U.S., India, and Hong Kong. By analysing landmark LGBTQ+ rights judgments and topical case studies in increasingly challenging political and institutional contexts, this book provides detailed, qualitative accounts of constitutionalism in these jurisdictions over the past two decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProgressive and original, this book explores how courts often use LGBTQ+ rights to demonstrate their rhetorical commitment to liberal and global constitutionalism, even as their judgments may fall short of, or even undermine, those ideals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rehan Abeyratne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198888279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198888277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Rehan Abeyratne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962003673343,"sku":"9780198888277","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_901ae34e-828c-4160-a378-237e91f0b015.jpg?v=1750649022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/courts-and-lgbtq-rights-in-rehan-abeyratne-9780198888277","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
