Showcasing research from across the social sciences, this edited
volume seeks to provide readers with an empirically grounded sense
of how many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people
marry in the US and Canada, what their marriages look like, and how
LGBT people themselves are impacted by marriage and marriage
equality. Prior to marriage equality, lawmakers and activists
across the political spectrum debated whether same-sex couples
should have the legal right to marry, and likewise, academic
research to date has focused mostly on the politics of same-sex
marriage. However, this edited volume focuses on LGBT people
themselves and their intimate relationships in the era of marriage
equality. Including both quantitative and qualitative social
science research, it features 14 primary chapters that examine a
diverse set of topics, including demographic patterns in same-sex
marriage and cohabitation, marital aspirations and motivations
among LGBT people, arrangements and dynamics within same-sex
relationships, and the legal benefits and informal privileges
associated with marriage. The edited volume will be of interest to
scholars across a wide range of disciplines, including sociology,
psychology, child and family studies, communications, social work,
and economics, while also offering valuable information for
laypeople generally interested in families and/or LGBT studies.
