In early 2004, ABC announced a U.S. version of Wife Swap, to be called Trading Moms, having outbid Fox Network for the rights for the format in the U.S.[2] In June, the same year Fox publicized a program with an almost identical format to Wife Swap entitled Trading Spouses, which it began broadcasting on July 1,[3] ABC then reverted to the original UK title for their series, which began on September 26. In December 2004, RDF Media sued Fox for copyright infringement for reproducing the Wife Swap format without their permission.[4] In 2008, FOX sold the rights to the show to CMT, ending the run.[5]
Gay swap

In November 2005, Jeffrey Bedford, a participant in the American series, sued ABC network for trading his wife for a gay man. He accused ABC of being dishonest, not allowing him contact with his wife, and making him miss his lessons at college. He claims that, when he ceased participating with the production of the episode, ABC threatened that it would not tell him his wife's whereabouts and would not pay for his wife's return home. He is suing for over $10 million, although a spokesperson revealed that the contract stated the spouse could be of either gender.[6] In 2007, the UK version began a search for more gay or lesbian swaps.[7]
Alicia Guastaferro / Scott Kleveno

In March 2010, teen beauty queen Alicia Guastaferro sued ABC for $100 million, claiming that public embarrassment about her portrayal as a "spoiled brat" on Wife Swap led to panic attacks and suicidal tendencies.[8] The case was settled out of court. The Guastaferro family has experienced numerous other run-ins with the law, including the parents being charged with money laundering and tax evasion.[9] Ralph Guastaferro was sentenced to two years in prison for laundering $1.2 million for a Canadian telemarketing scheme through two business checking accounts he opened. Karen was given three years of probation

Suddenly, just after the program resumes after a painstakingly long commercial break, you see a man and a woman lying in bed talking to each other after having a night of hot, passionate sex.

    In Jay Clarkson’s article about the limitations and discourse of norms he discusses how once gayness was completely out of the public eye and when it was that way the men and women that were gay had to be far more secretive about their relationships. Now there are so many gay couples in the public eye that most gay couples outside of the trending media feel that it is okay to be more open. “But I think that what was once the cure is now toxic. I see more and more of our rights taken away more hate crimes, because flamboyant elements of the gay movement have remained the power after they have ceased to be effective…” (Clarkson) and now when a gay couple walks down the street, it’s not that they need to hide their affections but they need to be wary of who sees it. In the series the character Bryan Collins is the most flamboyant of…

    Due to the long-awaited family law reforms signifying the recognition of same sex relationships, one may say, “society moves ahead and the law limps behind.” It was in the 1969 that the ACT Homosexual Law Reform Society was formed, indicating society’s demand for equality. Such demands were first recognised by the Property (Relationships) Legislation Amendment Act 1999 (NSW), which enabled access to the District Court for property divisions and financial maintenance orders, and granted inheritance rights to same-sex de-factos. Finally, after 2 decades of Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras marches, The Commonwealth government passed the Family Law Amendment (De Facto Financial Matters and Other Measures) Act 2008. The legislation expanded the definition of de-facto relationships to include, “2 persons of the same sex.” This, amongst other amendments, ensured that same-sex couples are afforded the same rights and obligations as heterosexual couples, under around 50 Commonwealth statutes.…
