A Bisex-Queer Critique of Same-Sex Marriage Advocacy

The essay positions current same-sex marriage advocacy as an assimilationist/conformist, reformist movement and articulates the need for a more radical argument for marriage equality, one based not merely in queer politics but also in queer forms of relationship structure. Drawing from the realm of the personal, the author fashions a queer image of relationships that challenges the boundaries of mainstream concepts of relationship structure and demonstrates the failure of same-sex marriage advocacy to accommodate the many forms of relationships that are available.
