Summary

Queer Families and Relationships After Marriage Equality examines the real-life impact of legalising same-sex marriage worldwide. Drawing from academic papers, conference transcripts, and interviews with activists, it offers critical and intersectional perspectives on how queer families and relationships are evolving. The book explores the material effects of marriage on same-sex couples, questions whether marriage leads to more 'normalised' relationship forms, and considers how non-marriage queer relationships adapt in this new legal landscape. It translates queer critiques from marriage debates into a framework for ongoing research post-legalisation.

This volume is ideal for academics, scholars, and activists interested in LGBTQ+ studies, sociology, and contemporary family and relationship dynamics following marriage equality.

Queer Families and Relationships After Marriage Equality centers critical questions and the experiences of those often disadvantaged or excluded by marriage law. These include those subjected to surveillance through marriage policy due to their race or class, and those whose relationships remain unrecognized, such as non-marital and polyamorous relationships.

Description

After years of intense debate, same-sex marriage has become a legal reality in many countries around the globe. As same-sex marriage laws spread, Queer Families and Relationships After Marriage Equality asks: What will queer families and relationships look like on the ground?

Building on a major conference held in 2016 entitled "After Marriage: The Future of LGBTQ Politics and Scholarship," this collection draws from critical and intersectional perspectives to explore this question. Comprising academic papers, edited transcripts of conference panels, and interviews with activists working on the ground, this collection presents some of the first works of empirical scholarship and first-hand observation to assess the realities of queer families and relationships after same-sex marriage.

Including a number of chapters focused on married same-sex couples as well as several on other queer family types, the volume considers the following key questions: What are the material impacts of marriage for same-sex couples? Is the spread of same-sex marriage pushing LGBTQ people toward more "normalized" types of relationships that resemble heterosexual marriage? And finally, how is the spread of same-sex marriage shaping other queer relationships that do not fit the marriage model?

By presenting scholarly research and activist observations on these questions, this volume helps translate queer critiques advanced during the marriage debates into a framework for ongoing critical research in the after-marriage period.
