Publisher Description

"To retain respect for sausages and laws one should not see them in the making." (1) The United States government wants its citizens to know that the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") (2) is about more than eliminating physical barriers and creating opportunities for employment. It is part of a larger project of breaking down stereotypes, dispelling myths, and quieting fears. (3) Ironically, the ADA, in its application and jurisprudence, has probably done more to perpetuate stereotypes, myths, and fears than it has to eliminate them. The fears and stereotypes fostered by the ADA are not primarily about disabilities and their effects. Instead, these fears revolve around sexuality. How do handicaps connect to sexualities? They are linked through an anxiety of shifting marginalities.
