Description and Table of Contents
Description
"The Gay and Lesbian Marriage and Family Reader" assembles for the first time a penetrating collection of articles by social scientists, psychologists, social workers, and attorneys on gay and lesbian marriage and family issues in twenty-first-century America. This volume is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the issues and trends involving gays and lesbians in their roles as parents, spouses, cohabiting partners, and members of extended families. Several articles address the prospects and implications of same-sex marriage, including economic security and financial management issues and the challenges faced by gay and lesbian stepfamilies.Other essays look at lesbian motherhood, examining issues of donor identity and child custody determination. The consolidation of 'heterosexual' gender identification in the young sons of homosexual men, the effects of traditional family values on the coming out process of gay male adolescents, and psychotherapy with gay and lesbian families are other issues which are addressed in this convenient and timely volume. Jennifer M. Lehmann is an associate professor of sociology and women's studies at the University of Nebraska.
She is the author of "Durkheim and Women" (Nebraska 1994) and the editor of "Current Perspectives in Social Theory'.
