This study is based upon original research carried out with lesbian, gay and queer parents and explores how genealogy, kinship, family, everyday life, gender, race, state welfare and intimacy are theorized and lived out, drawing upon interactionist, feminist, discursive and queer sociologies.

'...this is a book that makes a major contribution to sociological and social work knowledge. Sadly, there are few of us whose books will be read in 100 years, but I am prepared to wager a bet that this is one book that will be.' -Dr. Helen Cosis Brown, Principal Lecturer in Social Work, Middlesex University, British Journal of Social Work
