| Is Canada a â queer utopiaâ ? Canada was the fourth country in the world â and the first in the Western Hemisphere â to legalize same-sex marriage. Queer people in Canada enjoy many of the same legal rights as heterosexuals, and social acceptance of homosexuality has grown exponentially. But are these the goals that queer activists hoped to achieve? Is this legal regulation and normalization of homosexuality what the lesbian and gay liberation movement of the early 1970s fought for? Using the origins of this movement as a starting point, About Canada: Queer Rights examines the history of the struggle for queer rights in Canada to create a better understanding of the present. What Peter Knegt finds is that Canadaâ s queer people are as diverse and multicultural as Canada itself â they are not easily generalized and have most certainly not achieved equality. |
