Shannon Gilreath...
teaches at Wake Forest University. When he began teaching, there were no classes dealing with the legal and political realities confronting gays and lesbians in the United States. Now he teaches those courses in the university’s law school, divinity school, and undergraduate college.
Professor Gilreath is the author of a pioneering textbook on gay and lesbian rights and of the book, Sexual Politics: The Gay Person in America Today, a plea for attentiveness to the struggles of gay people in the United States. A public intellectual, Professor Gilreath is a frequent national speaker on gay rights issues. Most recently, he represented the ACLU and the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers as amicus curiae in a North Carolina Supreme Court case to invalidate the state’s “crime against nature” law as applied to gay youth. He has been nominated for the American Library Association’s Stonewall Prize and for the Lambda Literary Foundation Award.
