  • Gay Pride on Stolen Land: Homonationalism, Queer Asylum
    Gay Pride on Stolen Land: Homonationalism, Queer Asylum and Indigenous Sovereignty at the Vancouver Winter Olympics Paper submitted for publication in GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies August 2012 Abstract In this paper we examine intersections between homonationalism, sport, gay imperialism and white settler colonialism. The 2010 Winter Olympics, held in Vancouver, Canada, produced new articulations between sporting homonationalism, indigenous peoples and immigration policy. For the first time at an Olympic/Paralympic Games, three Pride Houses showcased LGBT athletes and provided support services for LBGT athletes and spectators. Supporting claims for asylum by queers featured prominently in these support services. However, the Olympic events were held on unceded territories of four First Nations, centered in Vancouver which is a settler colonial city. Thus, we examine how this new form of ‘sporting homonationalism’ emerged upon unceded, or stolen, indigenous land of British Columbia in Canada. Specifically, we argue that this new sporting homonationalism was founded upon white settler colonialism and imperialism—two distinct logics of white supremacy (Smith, 2006).1 Smith explained how white supremacy often functions through contradictory, yet interrelated, logics. We argue that distinct logics of white settler colonialism and imperialism shaped the emergence of the Olympic Pride Houses. On the one hand, the Pride Houses showed no solidarity with the major indigenous protest ‘No Olympics On Stolen Land.’ This absence of solidarity between the Pride Houses and the ‘No Olympics On Stolen Land’ protests reveals how thoroughly winter sports – whether elite or gay events — depend on the logics, and material practices, of white settler colonialism. We analyze how 2 the Pride Houses relied on colonial narratives about ’Aboriginal Participation’ in the Olympics and settler notions of ‘land ownership’.

Rest in Peace, Herbie. Hanson 2 Introduction We gay folks know this most acutely because expressions of our very sexualities were illegal barely a generation ago (some still are). Freedom of expression is the very foundation of gay and lesbian movements. As a peaceful demonstration of civil disobedience, QAIA [Queers Against Israeli Apartheid] members and supporters should march in the parade, authors of their own messages, regardless of what Pride Toronto organizers, or their masters, have to say about it. – Matt Mills, “Let‟s Get Civilly Disobedient,” Extra, June 3, 2010. During the summer of 2010, Toronto‟s premier gay magazine Extra expounded criticisms such as these attacking the Toronto Pride Committee, which oversees Toronto‟s annual gay pride parade. The issues at stake: censorship and freedom of speech. During the spring of 2010, a gay political group entitled “Queers Against Israeli Apartheid” (QAIA) sought permission to march under this name in the Toronto gay pride parade, one of Toronto‟s largest annual events. Sensing controversy, Pride Toronto deliberated whether to allow QAIA to march.
