I suggest that the rising legitimacy of some LGBT people in relationship to the state through the traditional family structure reinforces some of the problematic aspects of that structure. And how, in particular, the assumptions of the mother role remains antithetical to power sharing, even in the queer family, and its relationship to the state. This alignment between family and state makes us increasingly complicit with a governmental apparatus of punishment that does not address the actual sources of conflict, and instead relies on overreaction instead of repair.
this sounds great
