This was a good book, and I'd recommend it to anyone involved in LGBT rights in the United States. A few short anecdotes in early chapters seems strangely ignorant of trans issues. (They tended to misgender the person and say they had a "sex change".) Which was weird, because trans issues around marriage law were discussed explicitly in later chapters. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Beyond (Straight and Gay) Marriagereframes the family-rights debate by arguing that marriage shouldn't bestow special legal privileges upon couples because people, both heterosexual and LGBT, live in a variety of relationships-including unmarried couples of any sexual orientation, single-parent households, extended biological family units, and myriad other familial configurations. Nancy D. Polikoff shows how the law can value all families, and why it must. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

However, the book could have been more radical in the types of families addressed. The book rarely discusses families with more than two adults (even the non-conjugal families it mentions are often pairs children. or single individuals caring for dependents). While such singles/pairs are undoubtedly the vast majority, the book could have done a much better job addressing other families, or even simply highlighting how they're affected by existing/proposed laws. I was left feeling slightly let down that the book didn't go further. ( )
