Abstract
Canada is in the forefront of lesbian and gay rights in the world. It is one of the few countries that systematically ban discrimination against lesbians and gay men in areas such as housing and employment while, at the same time, extending recognition to same sex couples. Same sex marriage is on the Canadian policy agenda and is fast becoming a legal fact across jurisdictions. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) struggles over the last twenty years have centred on litigation. Drawing on the powerful template of rights discourse, a discourse that is deeply rooted in Canadian society, the LGBT movement has claimed the rights of citizenship on equal terms with heterosexuals. This article argues that the quest for legal rights is only one stage of LGBT struggles and that, as legal recognition and protection is increasingly extended to lesbian and gay citizens and as the drive for legal equality reaches its apex with the legal recognition of same sex marriage, the policy agenda of the lesbian and gay movement will increasingly focus on advancing queer identities and interests within social institutions such as the education system, the health care system and broader fields of social policy. As the lesbian and gay movement moves beyond the drive for legal citizenship, many of these struggles will focus on overcoming the social stigma that still attaches to

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
