Abstract This research explores LGBTQ+ (queer) polyamorous family practices. This work is critical for family studies, as queer polyamorous families challenge heteronormativity, resist assimilationism, and broaden cultural understandings of family. This article presents findings from a larger qualitative study on queer polyamory that involved in-depth interviews with 55 queer adults of diverse identities and backgrounds who had experience with polyamory. Queer polyamorists engage in and value a variety of non-normative family practices, or queer polyfamily performativities, and formulate creative adaptive strategies to monocentric cultural constraints. Yet, their family narratives focus on cultural symbols that are central to conventional understandings of family such as households, children, and support. These findings suggest that queer polyamorous families challenge heteronormativity, but not necessarily by rejecting normative understandings of family. Rather, they expand conventional notions with their unique family performativities. These findings speak to current political struggles, contemporary family practices, and changing meanings of family.

酷儿多科家庭的表现力：LGBTQ和多种族主义者中的家庭实践和适应策略

摘要这项研究探讨了LGBTQ +（同志）多口家庭实践。这项工作对于家庭研究至关重要，因为多异性同性恋家庭会挑战异范性，抵抗同化并扩大对家庭的文化理解。本文介绍了一项较大的定性研究，该研究涉及对同性恋古怪的大量定性研究，该研究涉及对55名不同身份和背景的同性恋古怪成年人进行的深入访谈。同性恋多元同性恋者参与并重视各种非规范性的家庭实践，或同性恋多族裔的表现，并制定出针对单中心文化约束的创造性适应策略。但是，他们的家庭叙事集中于文化符号，这些符号对于家庭，家庭和子女等传统的家庭理解至关重要。这些发现表明，同志异性恋家庭挑战异规范，但不一定是拒绝对家庭的规范理解。相反，他们以其独特的家庭表现扩展了传统观念。这些发现表明当前的政治斗争，当代家庭实践以及家庭观念的变化。
