女同性恋和男同性恋父母的家庭往往被视为通过“家庭的选择”,这假设他们是自我反思和创新的结构透镜。近年来,一些男女同性恋者与朋友或熟人非正式地协商生殖关系。支撑这种关系的各种亲属关系假设是本文的重点。三个主要的家庭形成的方法被确定为:“标准捐助者”,“社会团结”和“共同养育”。我认为,在这些不同的方法中,亲属意图的连续性是显而易见的,并且需要解开创新和惯例的程度,特别是在友谊作为亲属关系的地位方面。我评论的持续呼吁同居coupledom作为养育子女的基础和感知之间的不对称生物母性和父性。在概念化和谈判生殖关系时,女同性恋者和男同性恋者可能会接受或重新配置异性恋临床辅助生殖技术(ART)公约的假设特征。
Lesbian and gay parented families are often viewed through the lens of ‘families of choice’, which assumes they are self-reflexive and innovative in structure. In recent years, some lesbians and gay men have informally negotiated reproductive relationships with friends or acquaintances. The varied kinship assumptions underpinning such relationships are the focus of this article. Three main approaches to family formation are identified: ‘standard donor’, ‘social solidarity’ and ‘co-parenting’. I argue that a continuum of kinship intentions is evident in these different approaches, and that the degree of innovation and convention needs to be unpacked, particularly with regard to the status of friendship as kinship. I comment on the persistent appeal of co-habiting coupledom as the basis for parenting and the perceived asymmetry between biological motherhood and fatherhood. In conceptualizing and negotiating reproductive relationships, lesbians and gay men may accept or reconfigure the assumptions characteristic of heteronormative clinical assisted reproductive technology (ART) conventions.
