  • Summary

    This chapter focuses on the social recognition of LGBTIQ relationships and families and diversity within different relationship and family forms. A particular focus here is on the legal recognition of same-gender relationships and the impact that legal recognition can have on wider relationships and families. With reference to a range of contexts, this chapter first reviews research on marriage equality. Next, it focuses on families of choice and diverse communities, including polyamorous relationships and the complexities of relationships for bisexual and pansexual people. Other forms of consensual non-monogamy are also discussed.
