This paper uses a queer theoretical lens to redefine family boundaries and structures by exploring LGBTQIA+ and single adults' relationships through the interconnectedness of their marginalized histories. Queer theory both centers LGBTQIA+ lives and deconstructs normativities. The overlapping history of singlehood and LGBTQIA+ will be explored using examples including romantic friendships, same-sex couples and legal marriage, family of choice, and relationship anarchy. These examples explore how LGBTQIA+ people have often been considered single or choose new interpretations of singlehood (e.g., solo polyamory). The paper also explores how single people have often been considered outside the heterosexual norm. Thus, how these lived experiences deconstruct heteronormativity and can deconstruct mononormativity, amatonormativity, and homonormativity is examined. Understanding and acknowledging family lives beyond these normativities will build toward a more inclusive family and relationship science.

酷儿单身：从酷儿视角审视性行为和关系状态的交叉点

本文采用酷儿理论视角，通过边缘化历史的相互联系来探索 LGBTQIA+ 和单身成年人之间的关系，从而重新定义家庭边界和结构。酷儿理论既以 LGBTQIA+ 生活为中心，又解构常态。我们将通过浪漫友谊、同性伴侣和合法婚姻、选择的家庭和关系无政府状态等例子来探讨单身和 LGBTQIA+ 的重叠历史。这些例子探讨了 LGBTQIA+ 人群通常如何被视为单身或选择对单身的新解释（例如，单身多角恋）。该论文还探讨了单身人士如何经常被视为异性恋规范之外。因此，这些生活经历如何解构异性恋规范性，并解构单一规范性、无性规范性、并检查同性正态性。理解和承认超出这些规范的家庭生活将建立更具包容性的家庭和关系科学。
