In 1960, consensual sodomy was a crime in every state in America. Fifty-five years later, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples had the fundamental right to marry. In the span of two generations, American law underwent a dramatic transformation. Though the fight for marriage equality has received a considerable amount of attention from scholars and the media, it was only a small part of the more than half-century struggle for queer family rights. Family Matters uncovers these decades of advocacy, which reshaped the place of same-sex sexuality in American law and society – and ultimately made marriage equality possible. This book, however, is more than a history of queer rights. Marie-Amélie George reveals that national legal change resulted from shifts at the state and local levels, where the central figures were everyday people without legal training. Consequently, she offers a new way of understanding how minority groups were able to secure meaningful legal change.
Introduction
Part I. Queer Partners and Parents:
1. Legalizing queer life: Alfred Kinsey and criminal law reform
2. Contesting custody: social science and queer parental rights
3. Recognizing relationships: corporate and municipal domestic partnership programs during the AIDS crisis
4. Adopting change: social workers, foster care, and the expansion of the queer family

Part II. Straight Parents, Queer Children:
5. Combatting violence: protecting the queer community on the streets and in the schools
6. Teaching tolerance: the queer family comes out against hate

Part III. Queer Families:
7. More perfect unions: marriage equality, public opinion, and the queer family
