Covering and the moral duty to resist oppression

Peter Higgins, Eastern Michigan University

Abstract

I present, in response to Ghosh’s critique of Yoshino’s view on covering, a defense of a qualified moral duty on the part of LGBT+ persons to refrain from covering. This defense applies Ann Cudd’s argument that members of oppressed groups have, in some circumstances, a duty to resist oppressive expectations.
