This volume provides a close look at the ways in which LGBTQ2 people form familial bonds. It brings together stories from non-binary families across continents and cultures and recenters care as a foundational value for creating familial ties. This volume therefore addresses a gap in the literature concerning non-binary family configurations by going beyond the legal battle for non-binary partnership rights. In recent discussions on marriage equality, the notion of familial bonds, which was important in early discussions on non-binary family research, has been decentered in favor of legal and homonormative understandings of individual rights. This volume centers familial bonds as the first step toward reimagining how to do research on the family and adds to research on family studies as well as gender studies. Students and researchers of sociology, anthropology, social work, gender studies, family research, well-being research, and anyone else working on or with non-binary families will find this book highly topical and interesting.

"This book is an imagining." So begins this collection examining
critical, Indigenous-centered approaches to understanding gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and Two-Spirit (GLBTQ2)
lives and communities and the creative implications of queer theory
in Native studies. This book is not so much a manifesto as it is a
dialogue--a "writing in conversation"--among a luminous group of
scholar-activists revisiting the history of gay and lesbian studies
in Indigenous communities while forging a path for
Indigenouscentered theories and methodologies.
The Two-Spirit man occupies a singular place in Native American
culture, balancing the male and the female spirit even as he tries
to blend gay and Native identity. The accompanying ambiguities of
gender and culture come into vivid relief in the powerful and
poignant "Becoming Two-Spirit," the first book to take an in-depth
look at contemporary American Indian gender diversity. Drawing on a
wealth of observations from interviews, oral histories, and
meetings and ceremonies, Brian Joseph Gilley provides an intimate
view of how Two-Spirit men in Colorado and Oklahoma struggle to
redefine themselves and their communities.
