Same-Sex Marriage: When Will It Reach Utah? Robert Wintemute∗ Attempts to amend constitutions so as to make legal1 marriage impossible for same-sex couples are futile. Amendments of this kind are nothing more than temporary “legal dikes” designed to create “legal islands” in which a heterosexual majority can continue to discriminate against a lesbian and gay minority in relation to access to legal marriage. These amendments seek to strip the gay and lesbian minority of any possibility of seeking protection against such discrimination from either the legislature or the courts. Where such amendments have been adopted, they will eventually be repealed or invalidated, because the “incoming tide,” i.e., the long-term international trend, will eventually bring full legal equality to our fellow human beings who happen to be lesbian and gay individuals, or members of same-sex couples, with or without children. -

A White Wedding? The Racial Politics of Same-Sex Marriage in Canada by Suzanne Judith Lenon A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Suzanne Judith Lenon (2008) A White Wedding? The Racial Politics of Same-Sex Marriage in Canada Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Suzanne Judith Lenon Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract In A White Wedding? The Racial Politics of Same-Sex Marriage, I examine the inter-locking relations of power that constitute the lesbian/gay subject recognized by the Canadian nation-state as deserving of access to civil marriage. Through analysis of legal documents, Parliamentary and Senate debates, and interviews with lawyers, I argue that this lesbian/gay subject achieves intelligibility in the law by trading in on and shoring up the terms of racialized neo-liberal citizenship. I also argue that the victory of same-sex marriage is implicated in reproducing and securing a racialized Canadian national identity as well as a racialized civilizational logic, where “gay rights” are the newest manifestation of the modernity of the “West” in a post-9/11 historical context. By centring a critical race/queer conceptual framework, this research project follows the discursive practices of respectability, freedom and civility that circulate both widely and deeply in this legal struggle. I contend that in order to successfully shed its historical markers of degeneracy, the lesbian/gay subject must be constituted not as a sexed citizen but rather as a neoliberal citizen, one who is intimately tied to notions of privacy, property, autonomy and freedom of choice, and hence one who is racialized as white. -

CAPURRI Ryerson University, Canada
Volume 15, Issue 1, 129-144, 2021 “I Cannot Hide My Anger to Spare You Guilt”: On BLMTO and Canadian Mainstream Media’s Response VALENTINA CAPURRI Ryerson University, Canada ABSTRACT In this paper, I examine Canadian mainstream media’s response to Black Lives Matter Toronto, focusing in particular on two events that occurred in the city in the Summer of 2016 and Winter of 2017. By relying on Critical Race Theory, I argue that a White-dominated press has been unwilling to engage with the message presented by Black activists under the excuse that the tone of the message is overly harsh and threatening to White audiences. After analysing the historical roots of such a claim, I conclude that, in the current climate, there is no space for any dialogue in what remains an oppressor-oppressed relationship across the country, including in Toronto, Canada’s most multicultural city. KEYWORDS racism; white supremacy; critical race theory; Canada The quote in the title is from a keynote presentation delivered by Audre Lorde at the National Women’s Studies Association Conference in Storrs, Connecticut, in June 1981 (Lorde, 2007). In the presentation, Lorde examines how anger is one of Black women’s responses to racism despite the inability and unwillingness of White women, including many female-identified academics attending the conference, to bear witness to that anger. Lorde was pinpointing White women’s refusal to listen under the cover that the tone used to convey the message was excessively harsh and was therefore perceived as threatening. Thirty-nine years later, Black individuals, and Black women in particular, are still faced with similar challenges and with White society’s unwillingness to listen to the message conveyed by their anger, and the excuse is the same: the tone is too loud and intimidating. -
