Why We Endorse
the Boycott of the 2012
APSA Annual Meeting in New Orleans

A 2004 amendment to the Louisiana Constitution denies marriage and “the legal incidents thereof” to same-sex couples. This provision (known as a Super-DOMA) places an affirmative burden on visiting lesbian and gay pairs, who may never have legally recognized relationships in Louisiana, regardless of their marriage, civil union, or domestic partnership in home states or countries. For example, the 2004 amendment may well invalidate, by operation of law, medical-care agreements signed outside of Louisiana between the members of same-sex couples because such documents touch the legal incidents of marriage which the state constitution withholds from those pairs.

As a result, the undersigned support the boycott of the American Political Science Association’s 2012 New Orleans conference and will not attend that meeting. We believe that a substantial risk of serious discrimination against visiting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) political scientists and their families exists in the Crescent City.

Help New Orleans Now, Not Seven Years After Katrina. Many political scientists want to show solidarity with the Big Easy after the natural devastation and political debacle of Hurricane Katrina. Yet making financial contributions to the New Orleans rebuilding effort now is the best demonstration of meaningful affinity with the plight of the Crescent City. [New Orleans rebuilding foundations include: Rebuilding Together New Orleans, Friends of New Orleans, Habitat for Humanity, Make It Right New Orleans, and Common Ground.] Four days of convention-going in 2012 is symbolic support at best, which should not be borne on the backs of LGBT colleagues. They and their families will face in New Orleans the real and enduring impact of Louisiana’s overtly hostile legal environment.

The APSA May Legally Terminate Its Contracts With New Orleans Hotels. The hotel contracts signed by the Association for the 2012 annual meeting contain this language: “APSA has selected New Orleans as a site of its annual meeting in light of the city's anti-discrimination record. APSA reserves the right of termination of this agreement, without penalty or liability, if the government of the city in which the hotel is located establishes or enforces laws that, in the estimation of APSA, abridge the civil rights of any APSA member on the basis of gender, race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, physical handicap, disability, or religion.”

Two features of this contractual provision are crucially important. First, if the New Orleans city government enforces laws that abridge the civil rights of any APSA member on the basis of sexual orientation, the Association may terminate the hotel agreements without penalty or liability. Second, the “in-the-estimation-of-APSA” contractual language gives the Association the legal authority reasonably to determine what laws trigger this termination provision.

City government officials in New Orleans take an oath to uphold the Louisiana Constitution. Thus, city officials pledge themselves to act, pursuant to the state constitution, to abridge the civil rights of APSA members who are married to, or have civil unions or domestic partnerships with, same-sex partners. Accordingly, the Association may legally terminate the 2012 hotel contracts without penalty or liability.

New Orleans Is Not Gay-Friendly. A principal argument of many who advocate for the New Orleans conference is that the Crescent City is gay-friendly. But what evidence is there of that assertion?

For instance, Louisiana did not force the 2004 state constitutional amendment on an otherwise gay-relationship-tolerant Big Easy. Rather, 55 percent of voters in Orleans Parish approved the antigay provision.

Furthermore, in a 2010 national survey, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation sent questionnaires to every hospital in Louisiana inquiring about six measures of nondiscrimination involving LGBT patients. Only one institution – the Medical Center of Louisiana (in New Orleans) – responded. And its reply wasn’t encouraging. For example, MCL does not have a written visitation policy allowing LGBT domestic partners the same access to patients that married spouses and next of kin enjoy.

In short, there are virtually no concrete legal, political, or health-care measures confirming that, in the event of emergency, LGBT political scientists and their families would be treated with the same dignity and respect as their heterosexual counterparts at a New Orleans conference. [Learn about a relevant incident.] Rather, every such empirical marker indicates that the Crescent City’s attitude toward LGBT Americans is, at very best, indifferent – but certainly not friendly.

Comparable Discrimination Against Other Groups Would Be Intolerable. If the Louisiana Constitution in effect said, “People of color may not marry or enter into marriage-like unions,” or “Jews may not marry or enter into marriage-like unions,” or “Disabled people may not marry or enter into marriage-like unions,” the American Political Science Association wouldn’t be mired in the present debate. The organization would never regard the Crescent City as a viable conference site under those circumstances.

The Association Can Change Conference Sites When It Has the Will to Do So. In October 2010, APSA President Carole Pateman sent a message to Association members: “I regret that we will not be meeting in San Francisco as originally planned [for the 2011 Annual Meeting]. A very protracted labor dispute between the service workers of UNITE HERE Local 2 and San Francisco hotels has been taking place and there is no sign of an end. Without any resolution clearly in sight, the APSA Council determined that we could not guarantee that the facilities and environment necessary for our scholarly deliberations would be available.

“Acting on Council direction, the Association therefore notified the host hotels in San Francisco that, under these circumstances, we would not be able to hold our meeting there. We have subsequently reached a withdrawal agreement with the San Francisco hotels that will allow us to relocate without paying penalties.”

Virtually the same siting change happened for the 2003 Annual Meeting. A strike against San Francisco hotels caused the Association to shift that conference to Philadelphia less than a year before it occurred.

In short, the APSA can turn on a dime to avoid labor disputes in San Francisco, but refuses -- over five years -- not to endanger LGBT political scientists and graduate students by forcing them to travel to Super-DOMA states to attend annual meetings. The unmistakable message is that the Association gives higher priority to honoring hotel-employee-union picket lines than it does to protecting the well being of its own LGBT members.
