(Homo)sexualidad y familia: cambios y continuidades al inicio del tercer milenio

Abstract

Individual and collective practices, discourses and demands of people who have homosexual relations are generating important transformations in the conceptions of family in Spain. Questioning the heteronormativity of hegemonic conceptions of family is the main but not the only change. Conceptions of sexuality, the organization of biological and social reproduction, sexual division of labour and the organization of residence, material and economic live of people are affected too. In these change processes there is not a radical rupture with previous conceptions of family, but we can find important continuities. Family is the main referent for organizing everyday live in homosexual people’s lives.
