About the book

This classic text, originally published in 1991, draws upon fieldwork and interviews to explore the ways gay men and lesbians are constructing their own notions of kinship by drawing on the symbolism of love, friendship, and biology.

First sentence: David Scondras, an openly gay man elected to the Boston City Council, lists gaining recognition for an "extended concept of family" as one of his top priorities while in office.
