Over the past two decades, same-sex couples raising children have
become more visible within U.S. political and popular culture. The
family equality movement has propagated images of well-dressed,
well-mannered, and well-off two-parent LGBT families. Yet that
depiction of same-sex parents as model citizens has come at a time
of growing economic inequality, racial inequality, and nationalism.
Familiar Perversions evaluates the many successes of the family
equality movement, while asking important questions about its place
within neoliberalism, racial inequality, and the policing of sexual
cultures. Liz Montegary takes us on a journey that includes not
only the activist rallies and courtrooms where landmark decisions
about gay parenting were made, but also the gay resort towns and
cruise ships where we can observe the everyday politics of LGBT
family life. Through its sustained historical analysis, this book
lays a critical groundwork for imagining a queer family movement
that can support and strengthen the diverse networks of kinship,
intimacy, and care on which people depend.
