Last Chapter 6 in The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to the Sociology of Family discusses Same-Sex Families. It discusses the family life of Same-sex marriages. The text emphasizes that in same-sex relationships typical gendered roles can not be followed. The book discusses how the “ time bind and second shift experienced by mothers in dual-career couples are in some ways shaped by the fact that their partners are men; these kinds of work/family conflicts may take on different shapes when the partners are two mothers or two fathers” (Burke, 2013). It also states“ Accordingly, as heterosexual couples become less guided by gender, gay male and lesbian coparent families may be setting trends that family sociology can learn from more generally.” What do you think the biggest parenting difference would be between a heterosexual versus homosexual family? What type of impact do you think this parenting has on children as they grow up as teens and even into their relationships? To what extent do you think it impacts them? How do you think your life would be if you were raised in the opposite type of family that you were? (hetersexual parents to homosexual or vise vera?)
