This paper presents a review on the topic of diversity in the context of the aging populations in Brazil and Canada. The diversity of the aging population in both countries is discussed in terms of gender, ethnicity, age groups and living conditions while considering the impact on the health care systems. Understanding and reflecting on the Brazilian and Canadian realities reinforces the need for respecting these diversities when developing and implementing local health policies and interventions. There are some similarities regarding gender, but marked differences in immigration patterns, education and living arrangements.

  • Ottawa's National Capital Commission Conservation Officers and the Poli
    “He asked me if I was looking for fags…” Ottawa’s National Capital Commission Article Conservation Officers and the Policing of Public Park Sex Kevin Walby Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University, Canada. [email protected] Abstract The National Capital Commission (NCC) is an organization responsible for so-called ‘beautification’ and land development around Canada’s capital city, Ottawa. This paper examines surveillance of public sex by NCC conservation officers in Ottawa’s parks. Conceptualizing NCC conservation officer work as policing, I analyze conservation officer occurrence reports obtained through federal-level access to information requests to examine how public male with male sexual activity is problematized and criminalized. This case study of NCC conservation officer work demonstrates how notions of so-called ‘appropriate’ sexuality and space usage can be shaped and reinforced through policing and surveillance conducted by governance agents who have peace officer status. Conservation officers have been excluded from studies of policing because of a bias towards conventional municipal officers in the policing literature as well as the marginal status of specialized enforcement agents. Contributing to the literature on policing of public sex, my analysis of conservation officer occurrence reports suggests that even when bylaws and park regulations concerning erotic acts are written in gender-neutral and innocuous language, these bylaws are enforced in ways that discriminate against public homoeroticism. Though NCC officer policing is integral to attempts at purifying urban space, because of their mandate to promote the spirit of Canada in the lands surrounding Ottawa I argue that sexuality is also a matter of national character for the NCC.

  • September 2002
    LESBIAN MOTHERS ASSOCIATION (514) 846-1543 www.aml-lma.org [email protected] VOLUME IV No. I NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER 2002 So, What’s the Scoop? By Mona Greenbaum, LMA coordinator This year has been a really remarkable year for lesbian mothers. The landscape for our families has changed so much since the group began in 1998. The civil union bill (Bill 84), which passed unanimously last June in the Quebec National Assembly, has given parents and children in lesbian-headed families full and equal rights. We also have finally gained access to a fertility clinic: The Montreal Fertility Center (514-369-6116). Procréa Montreal will probably also provide access in the months to come, which will mean that the Quebec City branch of Procréa will provide access to lesbians that live in the capital. Forming our families has become so much less complicated. The huge amount of media attention that focused on our families has had many important effects. Most Quebec citizens now know that lesbians have kids, that our families exist and for those who have followed the debate it has become increasingly clear that a whole body of scientific research is already in place, in fact has been accumulating for the past 20 years, supporting what we already knew: our children are fine…they are no more likely than the children of heterosexuals to suffer from psychological, emotional or sexual and gender identity problems. This positive sensitization can only be helpful. Another positive effect that we have noted in the past year is that lesbians have come back into the forefront of social involvement.

I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 85,522 words. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis explores issues of subjectivity, collective identity, relatedness and class among young men on Cairo’s underground gay scenes. My thesis, based on 18 months of ethnographic research (November 2009-March 2011) among in Cairo, focuses on the diversity of ways in which ‘gay’ identities are embraced, questioned, and critiqued through the day to day activities of life in the city, and the construction of spaces in which the men move. The thesis analyzes various forms of instability and ambiguity relating to men’s sexuality both on the individual and scene levels.

  • Homosexuality and Prostitution: a Tale of Two Deviancies Ummni Khan
    Homosexuality and prostitution: A tale of two deviancies Ummni Khan University of Toronto Law Journal, Volume 70, Number 3, Summer 2020, pp. 283-305 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/760438 [ Access provided at 31 Dec 2020 13:39 GMT from University of Ottawa ] Ummni Khan* HOMOSEXUALITY AND PROSTITUTION: A TALE OF TWO DEVIANCIES† Historically, homosexuality and prostitution were both branded immoral vices that required crim- inalization, despite the fact that they were also considered ‘victimless crimes.’ Yet, in contemporary Canadian society, gays and lesbians have gained wide social acceptance and legal rights, while the sex trade has become more criminalized, stigmatized, and, for clients or third parties, vilified. This article explores the reasons for this divergence. First, drawing on radical queer critique, I problematize this framing, arguing that the equality and rights-based victories for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans community did not necessarily benefit all of its members. Building on this insight, I argue that those queers who are unable or uninterested in accessing the benefits ushered in by ‘gay rights’ have identities, proclivities, and vulnerabilities that overlap with those of sex workers and/or their clients. Part I of the article sets the socio-legal and political context, providing succinct overviews of key developments relating to gay and lesbian rights and of key developments relating to sex trade regulation, focusing primarily on the last fifty years. Part II analyses how 10.3138/utlj.2019-0082 gay/lesbian mainstream acceptance and the queer/sex trade marginalization occurred through e20190082 overlapping discourses and laws related to privacy, bawdy houses/indecency, disease, spousal/ 70 marital relations, and children.
