This comprehensive academic reader compiles vital sociological data and structural analyses exploring the distinct challenges faced by queer couples and families entering the 21st century. The anthology addresses a broad range of socio-political issues, including the push for marriage equality, legal hurdles regarding adoption and non-biological parenting, and the systemic economic inequities impacting same-sex households. By collecting research that bridges the gap between legal policy and lived experience, Lehmann provides students and scholars with an indispensable historical and analytical snapshot of the modern LGBTQ+ family structure under institutional heterosexism.
