Abstract
With attention to the way in which legal understandings of the family are perpetuated through popular culture, this article engages with recent debates in Canada both on the legalization of same-sex marriage and the criminalization of polygamy. By examining the popularity of the Academy Award-winning documentary March of the Penguins, the article interrogates how images of family and marriage in this documentary film have been appropriated by opposing advocates. This article explores how these challenges to a “traditional” notion of “the family” in Canada have cemented, in the process, a more rigid boundary around a monogamous, conjugal understanding of the family form. The author unearths what remains central to the protection of marriage as a core value in the Canadian context.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
