Abstract:
Canada likes to present itself as a paragon of LGBTQ rights. This book contends that rather than being a beacon of justice, Canada's newfound acceptance of the LGBTQ community is a smokescreen that obscures and abets multiple forms of oppression...including the marginalization of queers who do not fit within accepted norms. As the title to this provocative volume implies, Disrupting Queer Inclusion: Canadian Homonationalisms and the Politics of Belonging seeks to unsettle the belief that inclusion equates to justice. The contributors draw from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives to detail how, in the fight for acceptance within mainstream society, "liberal gays" have unwittingly become complicit participants in a system that entrenches racialization as structured by white supremacy, furthers settler colonialism, advances neoliberalism, and props up imperialist mythologies (such as the one that Canada is a safe haven for homosexuals). They do this by highlighting the uneven relationships produced by normative articulations of sexual citizenship in a wide-range of contexts...in prisons, at PRIDE House, Pride marches, fetish fairs, and the feminist porn awards...as well as within the laws and regulations governing marriage, hate crimes, citizenship, blood donation, and refugee claims
