“We Were in Solidarity with Each Other”
This paper explores identifying, "coming out" and "coming in" as Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or queer (2SLGBTQ+) during the AIDS crisis in Canada (1981-1997). We conducted 30 oral history interviews about this unique historical moment between 2022 and 2025 with participants from eight Canadian provinces. Informed by queer oral history, we approached community as multiple, and at times, contradictory. We sought interviews from r…

In the Dark
Male-to-male social-sexual activity in the subaltern world of male sexual spaces is theoretically examined. Methods include hard copy and online content analysis and observational-participatory submergence in the subaltern world of queer male sexual spaces such as bathhouses, saunas, circuit clubs, fetish balls, sex clubs, dark rooms, and backrooms. Studied is a self-monitored subculture that creates its own tribal rituals at varying odds with ma…
Liberational Historical and Philosophical Arc to Queer Liberation Theory
Queer liberation is a concept that is derived from the tenets and principles of the gay liberation movement of the late 1960s and early ‘70s. The notion of liberation has a much longer history and is premised on a number of philosophical perspectives, including slavery abolition in Africa, the repression of Indigenous culture, and the extensive struggle of liberation movements in South America. Historical and philosophical trajectories speak to t…
Effecting Systemic Change

Using a relational poverty and intersectional framework, the role of the SocA system in producing and sustaining 2SLGBTQ+ poverty is articulated by exploring 2SLGBTQ+ encounters with SocA and inter-related systems. Methods This qualitati…
Mental health issues and needs of LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, refugee claimants and refugees in Toronto, Canada
LGBTQ+ people experience mental health challenges due to their minoritized status, systemic inequities and structural disparities. For LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, refugee claimants and refugees the impact on their mental health can be compounding. This study, which featured a series of focus groups with LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, refugee claimants and refugees in Toronto, Canada, was part of a larger international study ‘Envisioning Global LGBT Human Righ…
Where Is LGBTQ+ in Ontario’s Health Care Policies and Programs
Voices of Resistance and Agency
This qualitative study critically examined, from an interpretive perspective, 14 life stories of LBTQ Muslim women across North America. This paper explored how LBTQ Muslim women navigated Muslim and LGBTQ hegemonic norms and exclusions as they negotiated and lived out identity intersections. Transnational and critical race feminisms, intersectionality, and critical Islamic liberationist approaches to gender and sexuality framed the project. The …
State Involvement in LGBT+ Health and Social Support Issues in Canada
For the first time, the broad health issues, needs and concerns of LGBT+ people in Canada were taken up by the federal government's Standing Committee on Health in 2019. The findings of their consultations with LGBT+ Canadians produced a report that at once captures the breadth of input received, and provides an opportunity for accountable state response to LGBT+ health needs in the form of research, education, policy, funding and programming, ye…
Safe Haven Questioned
Canada, being a country that recognizes sexual orientation and gender identity/expression (SOGIE) as grounds for asylum or refugee status, can appear initially to be a safe haven for those persecuted based on such characteristics. Yet, claimants are required to prove the SOGIE upon which the persecution of the person is reported to have been based. Given that essentialist and binary notions of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression are…

LGBTQI-identified human rights defenders
The role of LGBTQI human rights defenders in the international arena at the United Nations (UN) is a particularly risky and insecure one, especially for those who themselves identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, two spirit, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI). This article focuses on the anecdotal experiences of LGBTQI-identified human rights defenders and their work at the UN, observed and noted during a research study examining…
The growing presence of LGBTQIs at the UN
This article explores the anti-LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex) campaigns’ rise to power at the United Nations (UN), nation state sovereignty (of the member states), and criminalization LGBTQI assembly and association. Emphasis is placed on how these arguments are implemented and affect the social and political landscapes of LGBTQI rights promotion. Findings from primary interviews (conducted with UN bodies, agenc…
Recognition and Legitimisation of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (Sogi) at the UN
The UN often plays a progressive role in challenging oppressive policies and laws globally from a human rights perspective. Since approximately 2005, there has been increased LGBTQI rights recognition within various UN bodies such as: the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Security Council, UN Women and Sp…
Invisible populations
This article reviews the state of federal health policy discourse toward the LGBTQ population in C anada. Despite the advent of greater attention to diversity and gender mainstreaming in federal public policy and the shift to legalized rights protections for LGBTQ people, symbolized by policies such as same‐sex marriage, LGBTQ health concerns continue to be marginalized in federal health policy. Based on a systematic review of federal policy docu…
LGBTQs and the DSM-5
This article outlines a community-based collaboration in Toronto, Canada that led to an official response to the APA's call for comments and suggestions regarding diagnostic criteria revisions for the DSM-5 with a focus on disorders that have or may have an impact on the lives of LGBTQ people. We identified two diagnostic categories: gender dysphoria and paraphilias. The diagnostic categories and their respective disorders are deconstructed utili…
Advocacy Limitations on Gender and Sexually Diverse Activist Organizations in Canada’s Voluntary Sector
Registered charities are restricted when engaging in advocacy, whereas Canadian nonprofits face a far more difficult time when fundraising. The impact of such limitations on Canadian gender and sexually diverse1 activist organizations is one example of the implications on Canada's democratization process. Despite the efforts of the Voluntary Sector Initiative (VSI), and updated political activity policies, Canada lags behind both the U.K. and U.S…
Same-Sex Marriage and Canadian Relationship Recognition—One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
This paper reveals how Canadian sexually diverse proponents of same-sex marriage and their allies engaged in a restricted debate based on equality in the lead-up to the legalization of same-sex marriage in Canada. A critical liberationist perspective is injected to expand the narrowed frameworks of this subject. Equality-based arguments are analytically deconstructed, illuminating their implications on Canadian relationship recognition. By broade…
Promoting LGBT health and wellbeing through inclusive policy development
In this paper we argue the importance of including gender and sexually diverse populations in policy development towards a more inclusive form of health promotion. We emphasize the need to address the broad health and wellbeing issues and needs of LGBT people, rather than exclusively using an illness-based focus such as HIV/AIDS. We critically examine the limitations of population health, the social determinants of health (SDOH), and public healt…
