Part of the SAGE Contemporary Family Perspective series, this book
presents a comprehensive yet accessible understanding of lesbian,
gay, bisexual, and transgender families today by drawing upon and
making sense of the burgeoning scholarly literature about LGBT
families from the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
It pays particular attention to how structures of race, class,
gender, sexuality, and age shape LGBT families, and how members of
such families negotiate the social landscapes within which they
exist. The book will help readers better understand the formation,
experiences, challenges, and strengths of LGBT families, and
address two main questions: Why are new family forms so threatening
to certain groups of people in society? and How are new family
forms beneficial to the society in which they exist? Here is what
author Nancy Mezey had to say in a recent interview: ? "LGBT people
are creating families in a society that simultaneously demonizes
and embraces them. With a desire to understand and perhaps
deconstruct this rocky terrain, I decided to write LGBT Families, a
comprehensive overview based on solid research so that readers can
form their own opinions." "This book stands in solidarity with all
diverse family forms - families that developed out of particular
social and economic contexts, and that contribute to the society
around them, despite the hardships that some in society may level
at them."
