  • 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’.

Michael Kirby AC CMG Hon LLD (U.TAS) UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA GRADUATION CEREMONY 19 DECEMBER 2017 ON THE AWARD OF THE HONORARY DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF LAWS TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR GRADUATION DAY The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG Hon LLD (U.TAS) THANKS, PRAISE AND MEMORIES I thank the Chancellor, the Council and the University of Tasmania for the great privilege of the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws. I am proud to wear the doctoral gown of this University. It symbolises the link established today with this seat of learning and with my fellow graduates and with alumni of great distinction. My first link with the University of Tasmania came in the 1960s, as I was approaching the end of my education at the University of Sydney. I had become a very respectable student trouble-maker, as President of the Sydney Students’ Representative Council. This took me to the annual meetings of the then National Union of Australian University Students 1 (NUAS), held mostly in Melbourne. It was there that I met remarkable student leaders from this University. They included Pierre Slicer, later to be a Justice of the Supreme Court of Tasmania here today with his wife Antonia Kohl; Dennis Altman, later to become a Professor of La Trobe University in Melbourne and a world leader in the advancement of equal rights for LGBTIQ people; and Patti Warn, who served with senior ministers in the Hawke and Keating Governments and in health governance in New South Wales.

  • Altman, Dennis (B
    Altman, Dennis (b. 1943) by Nikolai Endres Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com For more than thirty years, Dennis Altman, a self-described "international activist-academic," has written on such topics as the United States and its politics, the gay movement, postage stamps, AIDS, the modernization of Asia, and national identity. He specializes in theories and practices of sexuality, in particular the development of the gay and lesbian movement and the globalization of sexual identities. He is also interested in the social, political, and cultural impact of the AIDS epidemic. Gore Vidal pays tribute to Altman in the preface to a 1995 edition of The City and the Pillar (originally published in 1948), where he recounts how the book was taken from Altman at the Sydney airport in 1969: "Altman challenged the obscenity law under which the book had been seized. The judge in the case acknowledged that under the law that he must administer the book was obscene, but then, in a famous obiter dicta, he wrote that he thought the law absurd: in due course, it was changed." (Vidal is right about Altman, but the book in question was actually Myra Breckinridge.) Moreover, in a series of footnotes in Kiss of the Spider Woman (1983), Argentinian writer Manuel Puig cites Altman's most important work, Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation, as one of the first books to chronicle the gay and lesbian liberation movement. In addition, Jeffrey Weeks, a respected scholar of sexuality studies, praises Altman in his Making Sexual History (2000) for "anticipating" rather than simply recording change.
