Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canadian gays and lesbians have made tremendous strides in realizing their dream of full equality in Canadian society. The adoption of the Charter of Rights in 1982, recent Supreme Court interpretations of the Charter, and public opinion have all contributed to that progress. This paper looks at the gains Canadian gays and lesbians have made in the policy areas of civil rights, spousal rights and gays in the military. These developments are considered in the context of Canadian constitutional change, as well as Canadian history, society and politics; and it compares the policy struggles of Canadian gays and lesbians with those of gays and lesbians in the United States.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
