Description

In this dissertation, I draw upon and extend insights from critical heterosexuality studies, scholars of gender, the literature on marriage and the family, and social movement theory to understand the personal and social meanings of the same-sex marriages that took place in San Francisco and to analyze the impact of these marriages on both participants and broader social processes. I find that the majority of couples characterized their marriages as an opportunity to contest heteronormativity, but that nearly as many also cited their desire for access to the normative benefits of marriage, such as social recognition and legal rights. My findings also reveal that the pattern of ascribing meaning to marriage varied by parenthood status and, in turn, gender, with lesbian parents more likely to embrace normative meanings for their marriages and non-parents defining their marriages as actions to contest heteronormativity. Same-sex marriage, I argue, cannot be understood as simply reifying or contesting heteronormativity, as scholars have debated, and instead, through its accompanying narratives, both cites and disrupts the association of marriage and heteronormativity.
