The legal recognition of same-sex relationships : emerging families in Ireland and beyond /

Tobin, Brian

The legal recognition of same-sex relationships : emerging families in Ireland and beyond / Brian Tobin. - xiii, 206 pages ; 25 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This work analyses the key issues affecting same-sex families in Ireland and beyond today: marriage; formalised and non-formalised same-sex relationships outside of marriage; parental rights for same-sex couples with donor-conceived or surrogate-born children; and the protections afforded to same-sex families under European human rights law. It critically examines the Irish and Australian citizen-led approaches to achieving marriage equality, which made Ireland and Australia the first and second countries in the world, respectively, to extend the institution of marriage to same-sex couples on foot of a popular vote. It analyses the pragmatic and symbolic effects of civil partnership, which was the premier means of formalising same-sex unions in Ireland.
