説明

This paper explores how lesbigay families could raise questions in four aspects about “the conventional family,” which assumes monogamous heterosexual relationships and blood ties as the bases and in which gendered division of labor is reproduced. First, lesbigay people's “chosen family” of friends/communities questions who is included in the family. Second, the negotiations surrounding disclosure question the assumption that one obtains emotional support from blood families and the primacy of blood ties. Third, lesbigay parenting creates a possibility of having more than two parents and questions the assumption that procreation necessarily involves heterosexual relationships. Last, non-gendered division of and flexibilities in work and family duties offer an alternative to the typical way of relating among heterosexual couples. The paper concludes by discussing the difficulty of determining whether lesbigay families indicate “assimilation” or “transgression,” and suggests undertaking more detailed analyses that recognize the diversity of lesbigay families, and which pay attention to how particular configurations of lesbigay families could indicate both processes and which cultural, social and socio-economic contexts facilitate or inhibit these processes.
