  • The Work of the Lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14
    Queering Vancouver: The Work of the lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14 Catherine Murray* he proposition, so often asserted, that Vancouver is an avant- garde paradise for people who identify as lgbtq (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer) merits careful examination.1 What evidence is usually cited? Social movement historians confirm that T lgbtq the city was the site of the first organization – the Association for Social Knowledge (ask) – that influenced national and regional social movements; that it developed a “thick,” active, and diverse associative structure of local gay, lesbian, and transgender rights and service groups; that it was the site of transformative protests or events; and that it is today well ensconced within Pacific Northwest and global social networks.2 Its lgbtq groups have achieved a distinctive record of groundbreaking struggles – even if there is as yet little agreement among social historians * I am indebted to the International Women’s World (2011) panel, the members of which discussed the first draft of this article; to Sarah Sparks, research assistant and MA graduate in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at Simon Fraser University; the constructive anonymous reviewers from BC Studies; and, especially, BC Studies’ editor Graeme Wynn. 1 Manon Tremblay, ed., Queer Mobilizations: Social Movement Activism and Canadian Public Policy (Vancouver: ubc Press, 2015), 31. Like Tremblay, I use the term “queer” to designate all non-heterosexual people. 2 For queer urban history of Vancouver, see Anne-Marie Bouthillette, “Queer and Gendered Housing: A Tale of Two Neighborhoods in Vancouver,” in Queers in Space: Communities, Public Spaces, Sites of Resistance, ed.

  • Queer Pop-Ups: a Cultural Innovation in Urban Life
    Queer Pop-Ups: A Cultural Innovation in Urban Life Ryan Stillwagon* and Amin Ghaziani University of British Columbia, Vancouver Research on sexuality and space emphasizes geographic and institutional forms that are stable, established, and fixed. By narrowing their analytic gaze on such places, which include gayborhoods and bars, scholars use observations about chang- ing public opinions, residential integration, and the closure of nighttime venues to conclude that queer urban and institutional life is in decline. We use queer pop-up events to challenge these dominant arguments about urban sexualities and to advo- cate instead a “temporary turn” that analyzes the relationship between ephemeral- ity and placemaking. Drawing on interviews with party promoters and participants in Vancouver, our findings show that ephemeral events can have enduring effects. Pop-ups refresh ideas about communal expression, belonging, safety, and the own- ership of space among queer-identified people who feel excluded from the gaybor- hood and its bars. As a case, pop-ups compel scholars to broaden their focus from a preoccupation with permanent places to those which are fleeting, transient, short- lived, and experienced for a moment. Only when we see the city as a collection of temporary spaces can we appreciate how queer people convert creative cultural visions into spatial practices that enable them to express an oppositional ethos and to congregate with, and celebrate, their imagined communities. Temporary spaces were popular meeting grounds of queer life in the United States and Canada prior to World War II (Chauncey 1994; Maynard 1994). Drag balls, cruising parks, theaters, and other such sites that were “scattered” (Forsyth 2001:343) across the city created opportunities for sexual expressions and connections in a climate when homo- sexuality was severely repressed.
