Abstract:
This special collection aims to extend understanding of LGBTQ+ couples and families from multiple theoretical and international perspectives, in the context of remarkable sociohistorical change. Five articles address changes in LGBTQ+ family patterns - and within LGBTQ+ families, attending to differences across generations, and considering contextual and cultural differences. Together these articles offer a range of theoretical integration, adaptation, or application, each with the goal of deepening understanding of LGBTQ+ relationships in families in times of social change.
