No Place Like Home
Relationships and Family Life Among Lesbians and Gay Men
Christopher Carrington
A study of the everyday details of domestic life within lesbian and gay households, NO PLACE LIKE HOME introduces the minutiae of these nontraditional families and examines the ways in which they operate. Christopher Carrington, Ph.D., an assistant professor of Human Sexuality Studies at San Francisco State, presents a complete image of same-sex partnership homes, while acknowledging the specific issues they share that often differ from the more usual ‘straight’ family set-up. Delving into many facets of the work that keeps households running smoothly (from feeding to childcare to cleaning), who does what, and how such questions get answered, this volume looks at the modifications of the family model, illustrating with plenty of case histories to personalize its observations. Also touching on the same-sex marriage question, Carrington’s study of these families of choice rather than of blood will inform and enlighten those with an interest in this aspect of the modern family model.
