Trade Review
"Carefully separating stereotype from reality, Carrington investigates family in the gay and lesbian community. Relying upon interviews and observation, the author analyzes the loves and routines of 52 diverse lesbian, gay, and bisexual couples in the Bay area.... [He] closes the work with a discussion of the raging same-sex marriage debate and posits an enlightened solution to this dilemma." - Library Journal
