| Description | Based on a qualitative research this text explores the phenomenon of gay and lesbian families in the Czech Republic. I interpret the positioning of g/l families in two frames of reference that are inhabited by typified and stereotyped actors and relationships. I was interested in how especially lesbians living in families meet and confront two stereotypes: the stereotype of the lesbian and the stereotype of the so called normal family. The everyday presentation of lesbian families is described as a constant interplay between distancing themselves from the stigmatizing stereotypes on one hand and affirming their own authenticity that does not simply copy the heterosexual model on the other hand. |
