Synopsis: Cahill is with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute; Tobias is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activist currently with Demos, a New York City-based think tank. They offer an up-to-date analysis of the major policies affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, their same-sex partners, and their children. Coverage includes an overview of what is known about LGBT families and the policy issues affecting them, ranging from discrimination to domestic partnership, from health insurance access to family and medical leave; recent political and intellectual history framing the struggle over LGBT family policy; and an assessment of the extent to which the pursuit of same-sex marriage is currently reflective of the priorities of the LGBT community. For researchers, policymakers, and individuals interested in better understanding same-sex couple families in the U. S. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
