They range from full recognition of same-sex marriage to full invisibility of gay and lesbian individuals and their families. The broad spectrum of experiences presented in this book share some commonalities: in all of them legal scholars and civil society are moving legal boundaries or thinking of spaces within rigid legal systems for same-sex families to function. In all of them there have been legal claims to recognize the existence of same-sex families. The difference between them lies in the response of courts. Regardless of the type of legal system, when courts have viewed claims of same-sex couples and their families as problems of individual rights, they have responded with a constitutional narrative protecting same-sex couples and their families. When courts respond to these claims with rigid concepts of what a family is and what marriage is as if legal concepts where unmodifiable, same-sex couples have remained outside the protection of the law. Until forty years ago marriage was the only union considered legitimate to form a family. Today more than 30 countries have granted rights to same sex couples, including several that have opened up marriage to couples of the same sex. Every day there is a new bill being discussed or a new claim being brought to courts seeking formal recognition of same sex couples. Not all countries are open to changing their legal structures to accommodate same-sex couples, but even those with no visible changes are witnessing new voices in their communities challenging the status quo and envisioning more flexible legal systems. 410 0$aIus Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice,$x1534-6781 ;$v42 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aFamilies 606 $aFamilies?Social aspects 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aEthics 606 $aCivil law 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 606 $aFamily$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X27000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aCivil Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R1200X 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aFamilies. 615 0$aFamilies?Social aspects. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aCivil law. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 615 24$aFamily. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aCivil Law. 676 $a170 676 $a306.85 676 $a340 676 $a340.2 676 $a340.56 676 $a340.9 702 $aSáez$b Macarena$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483963303321 996 $aSame Sex Couples - Comparative Insights on Marriage and Cohabitation$92851855 997 $aUNINA
