"Carefully separating stereotype from reality, Carrington investigates family in the gay and lesbian community. Relying upon interviews and observation, the author analyzes the loves and routings of 52 diverse lesbian, gay, and bisexual couples in the Bay area. . . . [He] closes the work with a discussion of the raging same-sex marriage debate and posits an enlightened solution to this dilemma." -Library JournalWorlds of desire.Gay couplesCaliforniaSan FranciscoGay peopleFamily relationshipsCaliforniaSan FranciscoHouseholdsCaliforniaSan FranciscoHousekeepingCaliforniaSan Franciscolesbian, gay, homosexuality, sexuality, family, sociology, relationships, lgbt, lgbtq, lgbtqia, bisexual, bay area, san francisco, marriage, gender, class, identity, households, housekeeping, kinship, consumption, fairness, domesticity, meal preparation, nonfiction, division of labor, caregiving, housework, domestic lives, cooking.Gay couplesGay peopleFamily relationshipsHouseholdsHousekeeping306.766306.84/8Carrington Christopher1560008MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780812003321No place like home3825635UNINA
