This article explores how 22 British same-sex couples define and make meaning of the notion of relationship celebrations. Drawing on interview data from a wider study of same-sex relational practices, we explore the participants’ varied experiences of celebrating their relationship. Some had created public or private rituals (one-off and recurrent) that were both intensely personally meaningful and had a strong political dimension. Many highlight…
Money Management and Views of Civil Partnership in Same-Sex Couples
Recent legislation in the UK has extended many of the legal and financial rights and responsibilities of heterosexual marriage to same-sex couples who register their partnerships. Prior to the Civil Partnership Act (2004) however, little was known about financial arrangements in same-sex couples, nor the extent to which these mirrored those of married or cohabiting heterosexuals. This paper reports the findings from the first large-scale survey i…
Who would take whose name?’ Accounts of naming practices in same‐sex relationships
The practice of a woman assuming her husband's last name upon marriage is a deeply embedded norm in some countries. Whether or not individual heterosexual couples reproduce or resist this practice, it provides a context for making decisions about marital names. No conventions, other than heteronormative ones, govern naming practices in same‐sex relationships and families, but very little is known about name changing in these contexts. This paper …

Social Class and Underclass in Britain and the USA
It is commonly argued that the research programme of class analysis is undermined by its appararent neglect of large numbers of economically-inactive adults who do not form part of the analysis, but are affected by class processes, and form distinctive elements within any class structure. This paper disputes the claim that welfare dependents, the retired, and domestic housekeepers show distinctive patterns of socio-political class formation. Nor …
Distributive Justice
Negotiating family responsibilities
Class, Gender, and the Asymmetry Hypothesis
This paper reviews three interconnected issues that have been central to the controversial problem of describing the relationship between class and gender. First, the matter of taxonomy, and whether or not extant class schemes are suitable for the study of women's employment. Second, the question of how sex segregation in the occupational structure relates to regimes of class inequality and class mobility; more specifically, of the connections be…
Enforcing Child Support Obligations
In the UK the 1991 Child Support Act has introduced major changes to the way in which the state intervenes in the financial support of children when their parents separate. The new approach requires much higher payments from separated parents (in most cases fathers) and enforces these payments much more rigorously than in the past. However, although research shows that most separated fathers did not pay regular child maintenance under the old sys…
