Mad River, Marjorie Rowland, and the Quest for LGBTQ Teachers’ Rights
2022
Overview
Mad River, Marjorie Rowland, and the Quest for LGBTQ Teachers'
Rights addresses an important legal case that set the stage
for today's LGBTQ civil rights-a case that almost no one has heard
of. Marjorie Rowland v. Mad River School District involves
an Ohio guidance counselor fired in 1974 for being bisexual.
Rowland's case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the justices
declined to consider it. In a spectacular published dissent,
Justice Brennan laid out arguments for why the First and Fourteenth
Amendments apply to bisexuals, gays, and lesbians. That dissent has
been the foundation for LGBTQ civil rights advances since. In the
first in-depth treatment of this foundational legal case, authors
Margaret A. Nash and Karen L. Graves tell the story of that case
and of Marjorie Rowland, the pioneer who fought for employment
rights for LGBTQ educators and who paid a heavy price for that
fight. It brings the story of LGBTQ educators' rights to the
present, including commentary on Bostock v Clayton County ,
the 2020 Supreme Court case that struck down employment
discrimination against LGBT workers.
