Public administrators implement and direct the powers of government. Public administration ethics, combined with social equity, is positioned to direct these powers and to thereby advance the rights and inclusion of all humanity. This paper discusses how social categories create artificial boundaries and allow for authoritative removal of rights; it examines barriers to full rights and privileges for individuals who are LGBT. We ask: Do public administration ethics reflect the self-evident truths of the founding documents, including “all… are created equal” with “unalienable rights?” Unfortunately, “all” still does not apply to everyone. Today some groups remain marginalized. Centuries after the Constitution was ratified, in the wake of WWII, the international community affirmed our founding principles. Do we limit rights through categories we create? In society are we “man” or “woman” only as a result of categories determined by various religious approaches? Employing intersectionality and Critical Action Research, we draw from stories of students who are LGBT. We surface the damaging impacts of negative categorization, stigma, and hierarchy of credibility which contribute to their experience as “lesser” persons in society. We conclude with expanding social equity in a way to extend ethics in Public Administration to Humanity Beyond Boundaries.

公共行政人员执行和指挥政府的权力。公共行政伦理与社会公平相结合，旨在指导这些权力，从而促进全人类的权利和包容。本文讨论了社会类别如何创造人为界限并允许权威性地移除权利；它检查了 LGBT 个人获得充分权利和特权的障碍。我们问：公共行政伦理是否反映了创始文件中不言而喻的真理，包括“所有人……生而平等”和“不可剥夺的权利”？不幸的是，“全部”仍然不适用于所有人。今天，一些群体仍然被边缘化。宪法通过几个世纪后，二战结束后，国际社会肯定了我们的建国原则。我们是否通过我们创建的类别来限制权利？在社会中，我们是“男人”还是“女人”只是由各种宗教方法决定的类别的结果？利用交叉性和批判性行动研究，我们从 LGBT 学生的故事中汲取灵感。我们揭示了负面分类、污名和可信度等级的破坏性影响，这些影响导致他们在社会中成为“次等”人。最后，我们以扩大社会公平的方式将公共管理中的伦理扩展到超越边界的人类。和可信度等级，这有助于他们在社会中作为“次等”人的经历。最后，我们以扩大社会公平的方式将公共管理中的伦理扩展到超越边界的人类。和可信度等级，这有助于他们在社会中作为“次等”人的经历。最后，我们以扩大社会公平的方式将公共管理中的伦理扩展到超越边界的人类。
