The article discusses the trajectory of lesbian and gay politics in Denmark, from the 1970s to the 1990s. It argues that, as part of the social and cultural change, marriage has become an empty institution; hence the ostensibly remarkable progress that gay and lesbian couples have also been conceded a marriage-like status. However, while pursuing this right, lesbian and gay organizations may have been too compliant with middle-class ideals of "decent" lifestyles; entering a registered partnership may become a new norm which excludes "less respectable" modes of homosexual lifestyles. The radical potential of homosexuality as a manifestation of the variety of lifestyles should not be jettisoned in the name of politics of assimilation.
这篇文章探讨了20世纪70年代至90年代丹麦同性恋政治的发展轨迹。文章认为，作为社会和文化变革的一部分，婚姻已成为一个空洞的制度；因此，同性恋伴侣也被赋予了类似婚姻的地位，这表面上是一项显著的进步。然而，在争取这项权利的过程中，同性恋组织可能过于迎合中产阶级对“体面”生活方式的理想；进入注册伴侣关系可能会成为一种新的规范，排除了“不那么体面”的同性恋生活方式。同性恋作为生活方式多样性的一种表现形式所具有的激进潜力，不应以同化政治的名义被抛弃。
