In the Article “BEYOND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE: (A NEW STRATEGIC VISION FOR ALL OUR”) feminist and queer interventions challenge ideas of the (“nuclear family”) by wanting to have accorded recognition as they struggle for “marital rights, and secured stability of diverse households and families”. They struggle to end the requirements of marital and conjugal relationships, quote: “our government define as “legitimate families” to only those households with couples in conjugal relationships” in which I do not agree with our government laws, requirements, belief and definition of what is a legitimate family is. Why do the LGBT community need to conform to these requirements, and why do they need to fight for their rights when it should not be an issue to have to think about to begin with? It’s a fact that is also a way to divide and oppress many Americans that do not meet a certain quota which is against human rights.
According to the (US Census) the “majority of people, whatever their sexual and gender identities, do not live in traditional nuclear families” Separating the LBGT community from what they define as a normal traditional family. These certain limits have been ancient traditions that must catch up to new generations of diversity. I believe this is going against our human rights, as people should have the right to choose to pick their own families without any judgement.
Some visions of how to forms a family or relationship besides marriage could be, common law, unmarried partners with children, no matter what gender or same sex partner. I believe family is formed through love, honesty, trust, and bond that no limited traditions can understand. The requirements are no longer a valid reason to separate or decline families of their rights that have been already established. These interventions help us unveil the obvious ridiculous requirements that do not make sense. They are an invasion of rights, privacy and hinder many Americans today.
