Odd Couples is the first comprehensive history of registered partnership and gay marriage in Scandinavia. It traces the origins of laws which initially were extremely controversial-inside and outside the gay community-but have now gained broad popular and political support, as well as the positive effects and risks involved in state recognition of lesbian and gay couples. Through a comparison of how these laws have been received and practiced in all of the Scandinavian countries, including Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the author presents a nuanced study of a fascinating political process that began in the 1960s and continues to change the way we understand family, sexuality and nation. 606 $aGay couples$xLegal status, laws, etc$zScandinavia 606 $aSame-sex marriage 606 $aSame-sex marriage$xLaw and legislation$zScandinavia 606 $aGay couples 615 0$aGay couples$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aSame-sex marriage. 615 0$aSame-sex marriage$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aGay couples. 676 $a306.8480948 700 $aRydstro?m$b Jens$0884406 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139649003321 996 $aOdd couples$91975128 997 $aUNINA
