Abstract
Same-gender couples typically appear as examples of complete egalitarianism. However, previous studies indicate that same-gender couples may also involve role specialization. We conducted 24 life history interviews with people in a same-gender relationship, cohabiting for at least one year in Chile, with the aim to explore distributions of housework and childcare and the ways interviewees justify their arrangements. Results show various resignifications and strategies for maintaining fair and mutually satisfactory distributions, despite the ubiquity of specialized roles. Interviewees move away from conventional gender roles and instead appeal to individual preferences, skills, time availability and flexible arrangements to justify their distributions.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
