Mulé. Edited By M.v. Lee Badgett And Jefferson F
This collection investigates the systemic economic, social, and institutional mechanisms that perpetuate discrimination based on sexual orientation across diverse global contexts. Edited by M. V. Lee Badgett and Jefferson Frank, the volume synthesizes research from economics, sociology, and public policy to evaluate how workplace environments, religious institutions, and legal frameworks impact the lives of sexual minorities. The contributors utilize empirical data and comparative analysis to argue that discrimination is not merely an individual prejudice but a structural phenomenon requiring targeted policy interventions.
