Description

"Based on extensive interviews with people in a variety of non-traditional relationships, this book argues that developments in the non-heterosexual world are closely linked to wider changes in the meaning of family and intimate relationships in society at large, and that each can cast light on the other. Same Sex Intimacies offers vivid accounts of the different ways non-heterosexual people have been able to create meaningful intimate relationships for themselves, and highlights the role of individual agency and collective endeavour in forging these 'life experiments': as friends, partners, parents and as members of communities. This book will provide compelling reading for students of the family, sexuality and lesbian and gay studies."--Jacket.
