Description

"Queer Families, Queer Politics" connects issues of gender, sexuality and the family with the broader issues of social movements, politics and law. Chapters address the themes of visibility, transgression and resistance, as well as the intersection between the personal and political in the contexts of relationships, parenthood and political activism. Giving special attention to families of colour, immigrant and poor families, the authors examine the risks entailed in coming out and the significance of class, race, and sexual and gender identity in this process. Parenting also creates dilemmas of visibility as queer families negotiate malls and schools as well as the medical, legal and political institutions that regulate their families. This book explores how heteronormative and class assumptions influence state polices on parenthood, adoption and relationships between adults, to question whether the law can meet the needs of queer families. Also discussed is how queer family politics are complicated by bisexuality, nonmonagamy and gender nonconformity.
