This essay outlines the short yet eventful history of the representation of lesbian families in U.S. movies and TV series. In less than three decades, the image of lesbian couples getting married and having kids shifted from the progressive end of the queer spectrum to an opaque position, sometimes linked to an implicit, regressive acceptance of neoliberal heteronormativity. This theoretical trajectory has been influenced by the popularity of the so-called “anti-social” strand of queer theory. My reading interrogates the notion of “homodomesticity” from a feminist perspective, focusing on the critical debate surrounding Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are Alright (2010).

Abstract

This essay outlines the short yet eventful history of the representation of lesbian families in U.S. movies and TV series. In less than three decades, the image of lesbian couples getting married and having kids shifted from the progressive end of the queer spectrum to an opaque position, sometimes linked to an implicit, regressive acceptance of neoliberal heteronormativity. This theoretical trajectory has been influenced by the popularity of the so-called “anti-social” strand of queer theory. My reading interrogates the notion of “homodomesticity” from a feminist perspective, focusing on the critical debate surrounding Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are Alright (2010).
