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.

  • Queer Quarantine: Conceptualizing State and Dominant Cultural Responses to Queer Threats As Discursive Tactics and Technologies of Quarantine
    Queer Quarantine: Conceptualizing State and Dominant Cultural Responses to Queer Threats as Discursive Tactics and Technologies of Quarantine by Péter Balogh A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Péter Balogh Abstract This study explores queer quarantine, my conceptualization of processes and practices aimed at assessing, diagnosing and isolating queer threats to the nation. In theorizing queer quarantine, I draw upon the longstanding conflation of queerness with disease and contagion, and build a case for reading the isolation, containment and casting out of queerness as an assemblage of discursive tactics and technologies aimed at quarantining queers beyond conventional understandings of quarantine. I examine the ways queers are imagined to threaten public space, healthy bodies, and the future of the nation, and provide a new accounting for so-called homophobic policies and practices deployed in statecraft and dominant culture. I also trace the emergence of the queer AIDS monster, an effect of disciplinary tactics of queer quarantine and a particular discursive formation in its own right. My study has two aims: building a case for queer quarantine and, at the same time, demonstrating how queer quarantine can be used as a new model of analysis to identify and explore some of the ways the Canadian state and dominant culture continue to marginalize and oppress queers despite the rights gains and “acceptance” that some gays and lesbians have achieved. My analysis reveals that in 1970s Toronto, the rapidly increasing visibility of queerness became a public threat necessitating tactical responses from local authorities and the police to quarantine queer spaces.

  • “Alive & Kicking”: Queer Cultural Memory Of
    “ALIVE & KICKING”: QUEER CULTURAL MEMORY OF TORONTO’S GAY AND LESBIAN LIBERATION MOVEMENT THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS OF VIOLENCE AND PROTEST IN THE BODY POLITIC (1971-1987) by Jessica Anne Wilton A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (April, 2021) Copyright ©Jessica Anne Wilton, 2021 Abstract This thesis examines the collective memory of Toronto’s Gay and Lesbian Liberation Movement (GLLM) in the 1970s and 1980s through queer cultural memory. This queer cultural memory is informed by photographs and articles of protest and violence in the gay liberation magazine, The Body Politic (1971-1987). The thesis first develops the theory of queer cultural memory as a type of collective memory specific to queer communities. This memory takes a redemptive form and is informed by “figures of memory” including texts and photographs which have a unique relationship to ephemeral records in queer community archives. Crucially, these texts and photographs inform different queer cultural memories; the texts communicate the textual metanarrative (dominant narrative of the GLLM), while the photographs show the visual narrative. Both comprise the movement’s collective memory. To analyze these photographs, this thesis establishes a visual methodology based on techniques in cultural history and visual anthropology. Using these techniques, it performs a quantitative analysis of 165 images and qualitative analysis of 40 images to establish the visual form of queer cultural memory. Subsequently, it compares the visual narrative to the textual metanarrative in order to reveal the obscured and excluded narratives. Overall, it argues that in the queer cultural memory, the textual metanarrative of the movement differs from the visual record in the magazine.
