Abstract:
|
In this paper I discuss the debate over same-sex marriage and assert that, as with so many debates over sexuality, it's not really about sex or sexuality per se, but about what accepting variant sexualities and, ultimately, variant family forms, means for the status quo.
Note: In a revised version I plan to incorporate more material about the current state of the law as well as the degree to which same-sex marriage might be argued to be more transgressive than much of the "within-community" debate suggests. This is a draft! |
