Queer Family Values: Debunking the Myth of the Nuclear Family (Queer Politics, Queer Theories)

Rating:
Summary: Refreshing look at one version of the American families
Review: Finally a book looks at debunking the myth that family=heterosexual married Christian middle or upper middle class. Just like we often forget that a family can be just a mother or just a father, it can also be two mothers or two fathers. The author strives to critique our assumptions about family structure, living arrangements, finances, wills, etc. when we are talking about a family that "mainstream" culture ignores or demonizes, kinda like the other reviewer who just had to throw in homophobia into the response. I recommend this book.

Summary: about time
Review: This book was wonderful to help understand how to be a better family. Too bad it is a bout homosexuals, because i do not care for them.
