In reply to by Judith Rosenbaum

Judith, that's a great question. If I were writing the book now I would definitely write a lot more about marriage, and about the complicated issue of same-sex marriage. There are some amazing conversations happening about the politics of marriage and the question of whether the move to expand access to legal marriage is coming at the expense of a more egalitarian justice in regard to sexuality. So I would do more on that.

The trans* piece is also something I'd talk about. In fact, since I am no longer partnered to the person I was with when I wrote the book, I might very well frame the book with a discussion of transgender and transsexual issues and how they complicate discussions of sexual orientation.
