Between sidewalks, graffiti and kinship: the city as a battlefield around lesbian/homoparentalities and access to the PMA in France

Abstract

This paper seeks to investigate the relation between the access to reproductive technologies by same sex couples, especially lesbian women in France and different graffiti and interventions in urban France that are related to the topic of lebo/homoparental families and the access to the referred technologies. Specifically, it discuss the quarrel and disputes between graffiti pro and against the diversity of family configuration and the relation between these quarrels and the acceptance and legitimacy of these families in France. In conclusion, it shows that the disputes among the different graffiti end up calling attention not only to the correlation between city and family but also to the politic character of urban art and the procedural feature of kinship.
