Challenging Canadian and Queer Nationalisms
From: In a Queer Country
$0.93
In "Challenging Canadian and Queer Nationalisms," Gary Kinsman takes issue with the very idea of the conference, that there could be a specific relationship between gays and lesbians and the country of Canada. Kinsman considers empirical research and interviews that show how much the Canadian state has done to oppress sexual diversity through treating homosexuals as prima facie risks to national security. He points to the ways that assertions of the importance of the nation reinforce restrictions on any minorities within the nation state.
