Gay marriage has been one of the defining fights of the gay rights movement, and this book brings honest, insightful commentary about that topic from the people whose opinions on this subject matter the most: The LGBTQ community. It's not so cut and dry, and the opinions are diverse - you may not expect them to be regarding the topic - and each of these writings gives the reader a lot to think about life, marriage, culture, domestic partnership, and what it means to be queer today. This book is an important read, especially in today's political climate, and is a valuable addition to any collection. ( ) Not all of the essays worked for me stylistically, but each one provided me with a new perspective and new points to ponder. In the end, what I took from this book is that marriage equality is important, but it is by no means the most important and certainly not the only issue facing the LGBTQIA community. The Supreme Court's affirmation of marriage equality is an important step, but by no means should we, as a society, view the fight for equality as having been won--not for the LGBTQIA community, not for persons of color, not for women.

Untangling the Knot: Marriage, Relationships & Identity, an anthology of essays and creative nonfiction, delves past the mainstream focus on marriage equality--beyond the knot-- to examine the broad scope of issues facing members of the LGBTQ community. The collection sheds light on what marriage equality actually means for queer communities. By confronting the concept of tradition through personal discourse, this volume seeks to create conversation amongst the diverse members of the LGBTQ community and their straight allies to prompt a larger, grander, and more realistic vision of what marriage equality really means for those living in the United States. Untangling the Knot: Marriage, Relationships & Identity includes the voices of many individuals who are underrepresented in the modern discourse surrounding LGBTQ rights, and these unique perspectives may change the direction of that conversation for good.
