Abstract

Provides a brief history of employment law in relation to sexual orientation discrimination. Outlines current legislation before considering the case of the military. Provides examples of conflicting application of law in different states. Considers the problems of those who suffer from AIDS. Concludes that legal protection is unlikely whilst public perception remains against such lifestyles and pressure from religious and moral leaders remains strong.
