Book Synopsis LGBT-Q Teachers, Civil Partnership and Same-Sex Marriage by : Aoife Neary
Download or read book LGBT-Q Teachers, Civil Partnership and Same-Sex Marriage written by Aoife Neary and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of legislative structures for same-sex relationships provides a new lens for grappling with the politics of sexuality in schools and society. The emergence of civil partnership and same-sex marriage in Ireland brings to the fore international debates around public intimacy, religion in the public sphere, secularism and the politics of sexuality equality. Building on queer, feminist and affect theory in innovative ways, this book offers insight into the everyday negotiations of LGBT-Q teachers as they operate between and across the intersecting fields of education, religion and LGBT-Q politics. Neary illustrates the complexity of negotiating personal and professional identities for LGBT-Q teachers.
Book Synopsis From Civil Partnership to Same-Sex Marriage by : Nicola Barker
Download or read book From Civil Partnership to Same-Sex Marriage written by Nicola Barker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil Partnership Act 2004 and the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 are important legal, social and historical landmarks, rich in symbolic, material and cultural meanings. While fiercely opposed by many, within mainstream narratives they are often represented as a victory in a legal reform process that commenced with the decriminalisation of homosexuality. Yet, at the same time, for others they represent a problematic and ambivalent political engagement with the institution of marriage. Consequently, understood or labelled as ‘revolutionary’, ‘progressive’ and ‘conservative’, these legal reforms provide a space for thinking about issues that arguably affect everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or relationship status. This edited collection brings together scholars and commentators from a range of backgrounds, generations and disciplines to reflect on the first ten years of civil partnerships and the introduction of same-sex marriage. Rather than rehearsing the arguments ‘for’ and ‘against’ relationship recognition, the essays ask original questions, draw on a variety of methods and collectively provide a detailed and reflective ‘snap shot’ of a critical moment, a ‘history of the present’ as well as providing a foundation for innovative ways of thinking about and engaging with the possibilities and experiences arising from the new reality of relationship recognition for gays and lesbians.

Book Synopsis Same Sex Relationships by : Stephen Michael Cretney
Download or read book Same Sex Relationships written by Stephen Michael Cretney and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the 2005 Oxford Clarendon Lectures in Law, this book deals with the remarkable change in society's attitude to homosexuality over the last half century. Until 1967 homosexual acts were punished by the criminal law and as recently as 1988 Parliament forbade teachers from suggesting that homosexuality was an acceptable family relationship. In 2005 Parliament passed the Civil Partnership Act, which creates a framework in which same-sex couples can have their relationship legally recognised in much the same way as marriage. This book looks at the essentials of the civil partnerships contruct, and asks whether it is really creating an institution of 'gay marriage'? If not, the next question to ask is whether civil partnership can satisfy the demands for equality increasingly being made by the gay community? In the United States, the courts have taken an active and progressive stance, holding that to deny marriage to same sex couples and leave them with mere partnership is to create a 'separate but equal' situation historically associated with the racial discrimination now universally recognised as unconstitutional and morally unjustifiable. However, the political climate has risen to a fever pitch with the current administration's push for constitutional amendment to ban outright gay marriage. In the UK the courts have been less activist, but the potential creation of a Supreme Court raises important questions about the boundaries between the roles of judiciary, the legislature, and government; and whether the judiciary should play a more constitutionally active role than has thus far been traditional?

Book Synopsis Queer Teaching - Teaching Queer by : Declan Fahie
Download or read book Queer Teaching - Teaching Queer written by Declan Fahie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws upon contemporary Irish and international research which explores the critical interplay between education studies and sexualities. Scholars from Ireland, Canada, Spain, the U.K. and Sweden employ the conceptual lens of Queer Theory to interrogate and destabilise long-standing regimes of truth/knowledge, and in so doing, highlight the suitability and applicability of this theoretical perspective within educational discourses. By reframing and repositioning gender identity/expression as a performative expression on a fluid continuum, this book provokes readers to (re)view how they see education, pedagogy and schooling. The book interrogates what happens to teaching, and teachers, when queerness permeates their practice, thus exposing the ways in which heteronormativity informs and shapes our places/sites of education. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Irish Educational Studies journal.
Book Synopsis Same-Sex Marriage in the United States by : Jason Pierceson
Download or read book Same-Sex Marriage in the United States written by Jason Pierceson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Same-sex marriage has become one of the defining social issues in contemporary U.S. politics. State court decisions finding in favor of same-sex relationship equality claims have been central to the issue’s ascent from nowhere to near the top of the national political agenda. Same Sex Marriage in the United States tells the story of the legal and cultural shift, its backlash, and how it has evolved over the past 15 years. This book aids in a classroom examination of the legal, political, and social developments surrounding the issue of same-sex marriage in the United States. While books about same-sex marriage have proliferated in recent years, few, if any, have provided a clear and comprehensive account of the litigation for same-sex marriage, and its successes and failures, as this book does. Updated through 2013, this edition details the watershed rulings in favor of same-sex marriage: the Supreme Court's June 26th repeal of DOMA, and of Proposition 8 in California, as well as the many states (New Jersey, Illinois, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Nevada among others) where activists and public leaders have made recent strides to ensure that gay couples have an equal right to marry.
Download or read book LGBTIQ+ Teachers written by Jen Gilbert and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together some of the key researchers and thinkers in the field of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and/or queer (LGBTIQ+) teacher research. The authors offer international perspectives on the state of play for LGBTIQ+ teachers and engage with some of the key issues that have and continue to shape research. Importantly, this book offers accounts from trans*/non-binary teachers and researchers as well as racialised LGBTIQ+ teachers and researchers—voices that have been absent from the field for too long. The book also offers reflections upon the history of research with LGBTIQ+ teachers and offers an examination of the impact of political and legal changes for LGBTIQ+ people upon teacher identity. The book does not understand the process of change as simple—from intolerance to tolerance—rather, it understands that change is complex, nuanced and experienced differently across and between contexts. As such, it provides readers with a challenge—to accept all that it means to be an LGBTIQ+ educator, including unhappy histories, complex relationships with schools, systemic homophobia and transphobia, and moments of pride and joy. This book was originally published as special issue of the journal Teaching Education.

Book Synopsis The Social Science of Same-Sex Marriage by : Aaron Hoy
Download or read book The Social Science of Same-Sex Marriage written by Aaron Hoy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-01-29 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showcasing research from across the social sciences, this edited volume seeks to provide readers with an empirically grounded sense of how many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people marry in the US and Canada, what their marriages look like, and how LGBT people themselves are impacted by marriage and marriage equality. Prior to marriage equality, lawmakers and activists across the political spectrum debated whether same-sex couples should have the legal right to marry, and likewise, academic research to date has focused mostly on the politics of same-sex marriage. However, this edited volume focuses on LGBT people themselves and their intimate relationships in the era of marriage equality. Including both quantitative and qualitative social science research, it features 14 primary chapters that examine a diverse set of topics, including demographic patterns in same-sex marriage and cohabitation, marital aspirations and motivations among LGBT people, arrangements and dynamics within same-sex relationships, and the legal benefits and informal privileges associated with marriage. The edited volume will be of interest to scholars across a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, child and family studies, communications, social work, and economics, while also offering valuable information for laypeople generally interested in families and/or LGBT studies.
Book Synopsis When Gay People Get Married by : M. V. Lee Badgett
Download or read book When Gay People Get Married written by M. V. Lee Badgett and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ."..Badgett offers a rare look at how gay marriage is actually working, by taking readers to a land where it has been legal for same-sex couples to marry since 2001: the Netherlands. Through interviews with married gay couples we learn about the often surprising changes to their relationships, and the reactions of their families and work colleagues. Moreover, Badgett shows how the institution itself has been altered, exploring how the concept of marriage itself has changed in the United States and the Netherlands." "The evidence from around the world shows both that marriage changes gay people more than gay people change marriage and that it is the most liberal countries and states making the first moves to recognize gay couples. In the end, Badgett demonstrates that allowing gay couples to marry does not destroy the institution of marriage and that many gay couples do benefit, in expected as well as surprising ways, from the legal, social, and political rights that the institution offers."--From publisher description.
