Despite formal equality gains such as LGBTQ workplace protections (Bostock v. Clayton County 2020), heteronormative cultural orders still permeate queer rights discourse. Laura Borchert engages with the cultural-legal construction of sexual minorities in the US and deconstructs naturalized assumptions about 'the Queer' in US law and culture and central constitutional-cultural imaginaries by conducting interdisciplinary wide readings of legal texts. She makes a strong case for utilizing suspect classification to secure queer rights and offers the first distinctively cultural studies perspective on equal protection and sexual orientation by using a queer hermeneutics of law.

Laura Borchert, born in 1989, is a research associate (postdoc) in the DFG-funded project »Human Rights Discourses in Migrant Societies« and works as a lecturer at Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen's English Department. Borchert was a member of the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC), the International PhD Programme Literary and Cultural Studies (IPP) in Gießen as well as the Gießener Graduiertenzentrum Sozial-, Wirtschafts- und Rechtswissenschaften (GGS). Her research is situated in queer studies, queer legal theory, law and X, and American cultural studies.
