The Civil Partnership Act 2004 (CPA) and the Marriage (Same Sex
Couples) Act 2014 (MSSCA) are important legal, social and
historical landmarks, rich in symbolic, material and cultural
meanings. While fiercely opposed by many, within mainstream
narratives they are often represented as a victory in a legal
reform process that commenced with the decriminalisation of
homosexuality. Yet, at the same time, for others they represent a
problematic and ambivalent political engagement with the
institution of marriage. Consequently, understood or labelled as
'revolutionary', 'progressive' and 'conservative', these legal
reforms provide a space for thinking about issues that arguably
affect everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or relationship
status. This edited collection brings together scholars and
commentators from a range of backgrounds, generations and
disciplines to reflect on the first ten years of civil partnerships
and the introduction of same-sex marriage. Rather than rehearsing
the arguments 'for' and 'against' relationship recognition, the
essays ask original questions, draw on a variety of methods and
collectively provide a detailed and reflective 'snap shot' of a
critical moment, a 'history of the present' as well as providing a
foundation for innovative ways of thinking about and engaging with
the possibilities and experiences arising from the new reality of
relationship recognition for gays and lesbians.
