Argues That Significant Barriers To Familymaking Exist For Lesbian Mothers Of Color In The United Statesone Might Be Tempted, In The Afterglow Of Obergefell V. Hodges, To Believe That The Battle Has Been Won, That Gays And Lesbians Fought A Tough Fight And Finally Achieved Equality In The United States Through Access To Legal Marriage. But That Narrative Tells Only One Version Of A Very Complex Story About Family And Citizenship.Queering Family Trees Explores The Lived Experience Of Queer Mothers In The United States, Drawing On Over One Hundred Interviews With African American, Latina, Native American, White, And Asian American Lesbian Mothers Living In A Range Of Socioeconomic Circumstances To Show How They Have Navigated Familymaking. While The Legalization Of Samesex Marriage And Adoption In 2015 Has Provided Avenues Toward Equality For Some Couples, Structural And Economic Barriers Have Meant That Othersespecially Queer Women Of Color Who Often Have Fewer Financial Resourceshave Not Been Able To Access Seemingly Available Choices Such As Secondparent Adoptions, Powers Of Attorney, And Wills. Sandra Pattonimani Here Argues That The Virtual Exclusion Of Lesbians Of Color From Public Narratives About Lgbtq Families Is Crucial To Maintaining The Narrative That Legal Marriage For Samesex Couples Provides Access To Full Equality As Citizens.Through The Lens Of Reproductive Justice, Pattonimani Argues That The Federal Legalization Of Samesex Marriage Reinforces Existing Structures Of Inequality Grounded In Race, Gender, Sexuality, And Class. Queering Family Trees Explores The Lives Of A Critically Erased Segment Of The Queer Population, Demonstrating That The Seemingly Color Blind Solutions Offered By Marriage Equality Do Not Rectify Such Inequalities.
